Videos from the World Science Festival in NY now available
A selection of videos from the recent World Science Festival, held in New York from June 2 to 6, are now available online: :
- "Mind and Machine: The Future of Thinking" brought together experts in cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and computer science to discuss how our thought processes are becoming increasingly interwoven with technology.
- "The Limits of Understanding" discussed the implications of the logician Kurt Gödel’s revolutionary theorems, which demonstrateded that there are mathematical truths that cannot be proven. (Video of this event is available here.)
- "Back to the Big Bang: Inside the Large Hadron Collider" took the audience inside the world’s biggest physics machine, which just weeks ago began colliding particles at energies unseen since a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
- "Faith and Science" explored whether, for all their historical tensions, there is common ground to be found between the domains of religion and science.
- "Food 2.0: Feeding a Hungry World" explored how advances in technology can help to increase food production, particularly in developing nations, and whether consensus can be reached by scientists and ethicists on genetically modified foods.
