Overview
Explore a thought-provoking lecture on the current state of fundamental physics delivered by theoretical physicist and science writer Alexander Unzicker in Prague 2019. Delve into topics such as simplicity in nature, Kepler's laws, fundamental constants, the development and history of physics, general relativity, cosmic redshift, and the cosmic horizon. Examine the concept of excess fundamental constants and the importance of independent thinking in scientific inquiry. Gain insights into measuring value and mass in physics, and consider criticisms of current theories. Learn about the significance of public access to scientific knowledge and the importance of thinking for oneself in the pursuit of understanding nature's laws.
