Let's find out how the world works from a physics point of view. Let's discuss how Newton, Einstein and other geniuses came to their discoveries and turned the ideas of their contemporaries upside down. Let's analyze the entire path of physics from the wheel to quantum mechanics and learn to use the principles of scientific knowledge.
Physics before physics: from Aristotle to Copernicus
- We will find out what ancient ideas about the structure of the world were and what prevented ancient thinkers from creating science.
- Let's discuss what components of thinking helped Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler to carry out the scientific revolution.
- Let's talk about the beginning of freedom of thought and the revolution of consciousness.
Classical mechanics: how grains of sand, people and planets move
- Let's try to understand what Newton's genius was, what principles led him to success and why humanity still uses his tools to this day.
- Let’s figure out whether we really know how to understand “ordinary” physics.
- Let's learn how to build a scientific theory.
Electromagnetism: how it holds the world around us
- Let's understand the laws of electricity and how they appeared.
- Let's find out why everything we see is electromagnetism.
- Let's discuss Maxwell's laws, which determine everything in electromagnetism.
Theories of relativity: how space and time work and what does Einstein have to do with it
- Let's discuss the special and general theories of relativity.
- Let's learn more about Albert Einstein's thought experiments.
- Let's understand how to describe what we cannot feel.
Quantum mechanics: the science of what cannot be imagined
- Let's find out how and why quantum mechanics arose at the beginning of the 20th century.
- Let's talk about its founding fathers - Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Pauli, Heisenberg and many others.
- Let’s figure out how something appeared in physics that even our imagination is not capable of.
- Let's discuss the paradoxical experiments of quantum mechanics and even more paradoxical theories that describe these experiments.
Physics and the meaning of life
Let's talk about whether physics can answer the question about the meaning of life. And the main thing is whether she should give it.
