Showing results for "Causality" in Science & Engineering

Welcome to Decoding Causality, where conversations unravel the mysteries of cause and effect. Inspired by the ideas explored in The Book of Why, this podcast delves into the fascinating world of causal reasoning, counterfactuals, and the science of asking ‘why.’ Each episode breaks down complex concepts into accessible and thought-provoking insights. Perfect for researchers, students, and curious minds, this podcast offers a fresh take on decision-making and discovery.

This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focuses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe.

Der Nobelpreisträger Max Planck (1858 bis 1946) war nicht nur einer der bedeutendsten Physiker, sondern auch ein Philosoph, der unablässig nach Antworten auf grundlegende, weit über die Physik hinausgehende philosophische Fragen gesucht hat. In zahlreichen Vorträgen, gern dabei Goethe zitierend, hat er die Ergebnisse seines Nachdenkens über den Glauben, die Wissenschaft und die Willensfreiheit einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.
