Ai Confini Della Scienza Multiverso: Trovata la Prima Vera Prova Grazie a un Premio NobelIl Multiverso potrebbe avere la sua prima prova scientifica. Nel 1987, il Nobel Steven Weinberg usò il Principio Antropico e l'ipotesi di universi multipli per fare una predizione incredibilmente accurata sul valore della costante cosmologica (energia oscura). Analizziamo come questo calcolo, confermato anni dopo dalla sua scoperta, abbia risolto il problema del "fine-tuning" e le profonde implicazioni che questa prova ha sulla natura del nostro universo.🎧 Segui il podcast per esplorare i confini della scienza, con 3 episodi ogni settimana!Vuoi vedere le animazioni di questo podcast?

But even when he's only firing on 75% of his cylinders he still turns out "lesser" movies like 1991's Hook, which has a seriously passionate fanbase despite being generally regarded as one of his second-tier films.

Into the Impossible With Brian Keating The Best Guest I Never Had: An Elegy for Steven WeinbergThis episode is sort of "fan fiction" conversation with a dead man who will cast a shadow over physics, philosophy, and theology for decades to come: Steven Weinberg, co-recipient of the 1979 Nobel Prize. Long before audiobooks and podcasts were a thing, in 1992 I took a night train from Cleveland to Buffalo to Binghamton to meet my girlfriend. To while away the hours, I brought with me Weingberg's epochal popular science book, "The First Three Minutes". A few months later, as a graduation present, I received from Lawrence Krauss, CWRU's incoming physics department chairman, "Dreams of a Final Theory".

Lost in Science Vale Steven Weinberg, and wild wattles where they're not wantedThis week Chris remembers the life and work of American theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg who passed away recently.

Claire looks into another little known area of science, that of indigenous weeds.

Dr. Schmidt erklärt die Welt Hat das Universum einen Sinn?Vor Kurzem ist der US-Physiker Steven Weinberg im Alter von 88 Jahren gestorben. Warum war der so wichtig? Hauptsächlich deswegen, weil er mit seinem pakistanischen Kollegen Abdus Salam in den 60er Jahren eine Theorie entwickelte, die es erlaubt hat, auf dem Weg zu einer einheitlichen Erklärung vieler physikalischer Phänomene voranzukommen. Die beiden haben den Elektromagnetismus, der ja schon etwas länger bekannt ist, mit der sogenannten schwachen Wechselwirkung vereinigt.

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Re'eh - On the Seventh Day, Don't Just Rest: Release - Episode 42Our best thoughts often come from not-thinking. Our wisest actions come when we don't act. German philosopher Martin Heidegger advocated the concept of "Gelassenheit" in order to escape our addiction to thinking and willing. But Heidegger struggled to explain how to achieve Gelassenheit. The Torah already had the practical solution to Gelassenheit figured out. Every seven days, seven weeks, seven years: do nothing, sit, release, surrender. Paradoxically, when we do nothing, we are doing quite a lot. We are doing this strange thing called "yielding.

Instead of trying to explain away and rationalize away God's decision, might it be better to just acknowledge that this is sad, this is heartbreaking, this is a tragedy? Our culture has forgotten how to process the tragic. We try to smooth things over with clichés and silver linings. The Ancient Greeks knew how to confront tragedy: by accepting it, reveling in it, exalting in it. They did so not through logic but through music, through the Greek Chorus of the tragedies of Aeschylus a...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Devarim - Why Your Parents are Cooler than You Think - Episode 39For 99.9% of human history, it was the parents who were revered, who knew things, and the children who were mocked, who were ignorant of all that was important. That all changed in Germany's Sturm und Drang movement in the 1770s and ts Romantic movement. These epochs cleverly depicted the youth generation as the visionaries and the parents as hapless folks who just didn't "get it."Our culture readily latches on to narratives of cruel and clueless fathers with misunderstood and victimized sons. Yet, who are the sources of these narratives? The sons (i.e. Franz Kafka and...

Why are we celebrating rebirth, renewal, and a fresh start, when everything is cold, grey, and dead outside? It is not exactly an inspirational time to begin making resolutions.It wasn't always this way. In Judaism, the year begins, not on Rosh Hashanah, as most people think, but actually at the dawn of spring. Many ancient cultures also celebrated the New Year not in January, but in what we today call "March."The Hebrew calendar, unlike our modern calendar, is intimately connected with nature.

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Balak - Plenty of Hope for Fools - Episode 36Our minds want to serve us. But the problem is that they don’t always do such a good job. This is because of a mismatch between contemporary society and our brains, which evolved for the wild. In Kafka’s Zürau Aphorisms, he wrote that all thinking is just consolation, and therefore it is never true consolation. Thinking does not lead us to the Infinite. It tends to have a quicksand effect. To grasp monotheism in the ancient world, one needed to think differently. One needed to stop thinking such that God could enter. One needed to become stupi...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Chukat - Moses Hits the Rock, Beethoven Hits the Drums - Episode 35The literary characters we most fall in love with are those who are flawed, imperfect, human, all-too-human. This tendency is one-thousand times more true with people in real life than with literary figures. Nobody wants to hang out with someone who is "perfect." And yet, society pressures us to wear a mask of innocence and perfection to the world. Ironically, it is "innocence" which threatens our popularity far more than our raw and dark sides. Franz Kafka's 1912 story "The Judgment" would elegantly demonstrate this idea. We want imperfection, not just with people, but also in art, particularly in music...

If you look at morning talk shows, you see how accurate Nietzsche's predictions were. We tend to get all teary-eyed whenever we hear the word "equality" mentioned, but might equality be a double-edged sword and a mask? Once upon a time, it was taken as a given that hierarchy and rank existed in a society, yet today the mere thought that anyone could be "better" than us is difficult to absorb. Kleist's novel Michael Kohlhaas showed how equality is often just a drive toward revenge...

Yet, when we laugh, we infuse our bodies with feelings of joy, relaxation, and relief. Believing in our own health and our own well-being can at times serve as a kind of medicine. This may be the real reason why the Hebrews lost their first attempt to conquer Canaan.Just as believing in ourselves brings us health, so too does believing in our societies.

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Behaalotecha - Klimt's The Kiss and Moshe's Humility - Episode 32We tend to think that the more information we have about a person, the better we know that person. Yet, this is not the case. Just because we have spent our whole lives with "ourselves" does not mean we really "know" ourselves. To know oneself requires one to lose one's ego. When you lose your ego and know yourself, you will simultaneously be better able to connect with others and with God. In Hesse's 1922 novel Siddhartha, the emptying of the ego leads to self-knowledge and Oneness. It is not a coincidence that the Torah describe Moses as...

When the Torah was written, it was simply obvious to everyone that death was bad and life was good. Yet, this simple premise that "death = bad" and "life = good" has been forgotten in modern days.

Even if you don't believe that God will personally smite you for breaking Shabbat, perhaps the Mitzvot have their own logic, such that if we don't keep them, our personal well-being will suffer, or the Jewish people as a whole will bear the costs.In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov learned that if you break...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Emor - Faustian Craving and the Gleaners - Episode 28We tend to think of greed and gluttony in financial and caloric terms respectively. And yet, it is possible to be greedy and gluttonous for just about anything in life. Paradoxically, one can even become greedy to not be greedy.Goethe's Faust marked a turning point in literature as the play showed how previous sins like wealth, drunkenness, and debauchery, had lost their appeal to modern humans. And yet, these same "vices" simply assumed new form in the lusting for bookish knowledge, for Enlightenment, and even to live in the moment. If we are greedy...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Acharei-Kedoshim - Israel's Belly and Heidegger's Thing - Episode 27Is there really a difference between simile and metaphor? When Paul Simon sings "I am a rock," no one thinks he actually is a literal pebble on seashore. But then why does he not sing "I am like a rock" instead? In Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa isn't just "like" a bug, but actually "is" a bug. Yet we, as humans, are quick to transform Gregor back into a human, to the bug as just a "symbol" or an allegory for a human. Meanwhile, Paul Simon's actual rock and Kafka's actual bug get left behind in the metaphorical dust.

But actually, caring what others think of us, wanting be liked by the group, was an absolutely crucial personality trait in ancient societies. Yet, this remains a difficult reality for us to swallow. Our society tends to glorify the people who stand out from the crowd, who welcome the hissing and booing of an audience, who don’t give a damn what others think. The legacy of Sturm und Drang and the Romantic hero is still very much wi...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Shmini - Kant's Transcendental Idealism and "Strange Fire" - Episode 25Kant discovered that our minds are storytelling machines. We are masters at taking a limited set of data from the outside world and weaving this into a narrative. Yet, the narrative we end up telling ourselves often ends up not being a cute and endearing child's bedtime story but more like a scandalous drama or horror film. The storeis we tell ourselves often bring our deepest insecurities to the surface, as evidenced by Shakespeare's Tragedy, Othello. Aaron's reaction to the death of his two sons inside the Mishkan seems to indicate that we should not so quickly presume to...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Tsav - Unkosher Sacrifices and Kafka's Metamorphosis - Episode 24You may not realize it, but each time you say "thank you," you are making a kind of mini-sacrifice. In this sense, you are not so different from ancient peoples who made animal sacrifices to the gods. What is "thank you" other than a momentary emptying of yourself in acknowledgement of a gift or favor you have received. The Torah's emphasis on animal sacrifices was also a reaction in the ancient world toward human sacrifices. The Torah wanted to say: we don't do this anymore. Rather, we sacrifice in a way which is ennobling and elevating. In our daily...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Vayikra - Romantic Irony and the Pursuit of "Kafka" - Episode 23Certain questions cannot be answered with mere logic and reason. When you try to interpret Kafka's literature, each time you answer one question, ten more appear in its place. The convoluted and cumbersome opening lines to Vayikra indicate that speaking directly to the Infinite is not going to be as simple as knocking on the door and being let inside. Romantic irony occurs when a text reflects back on itself and calls itself into question. The early German Romantic Friedrich Schlegel theorized that romantic irony allows a text to dwell in the Infinite, as it both undermines and affirms...

Our society has a lamentably oversimplified concept of natural selection. We think that our greatest drives are to survive and procreate.

To understand God, we need to think similarly. The God of the Torah is highly anthropomorphized so that God can be understandable to the limits of the human mind.

The ability to predict the character's future fate takes audiences on emotional rollercoasters as we wish to jump out of our seats to help the character, but know we are powerless to do so. Yet, is it not the case that we view our own lives through the lens of dramatic irony all the time? We see ourselves not in the present, but as tiny specks on the vast spectrum of past and future.

Walter Benjamin's 1936 essay "On the Reproducibility of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" discusses how, in modern times, art can be reproduced on a massive scale. This technology causes copies of art, even if identical to the original work, to seem paltry in comparison to the original work, which retains its "aura."

In fact, they are the great movers and shakers of society. They parrot back the values of their bosses at the office. Over time, these values spread like a virus, and are no longer subjective values but just “normal beliefs.” The Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci knew that, to change society, it was not enough to call for revolution, as Marx did. Rather, it was necessary to change culture itself. Immanuel Kant observed cultural change can only occur through relentless self-questioning and vigorous debate. Yet, our society is a...

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times Bischalach - Kierkegaard's Irony and the First Jewish Joke - Episode 16Irony is more than just a literary device; the Zeitgeist of an age or the Weltanschauung of a people can be inferred by looking into their use of irony. Our current age is so saturated with irony that we have plunged irony into the most advanced stages: into meta-irony, hyper-irony, and postmodern irony. In his 1841 work, On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates, the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard shows how toxic and nihilistic a force irony can be. Socrates used irony to prove to his fellow Athenians that they actually know n...

These first-born beings include not just the Egyptian aristocracy, but also the peasants, the middle-class, even the animals. Yes, even the cute, innocent, first-born animals must die so that the Hebrews can be let free. At worst, God’s decision is a genocide.

Do we ignore them and bottle them up, or do we turn toward them? In the Swiss-German writer Jeremias Gotthelf's novel The Black Spider, we witness how a society deals with threats to its perception of Christianity. Judaism is also not immune from questions of legitimacy. In his 1939 book, Moses and Monotheism, Freud posited that Moses was actually not a Hebrew but an Egyptian. Yet, Freud also believed that perceiving Moses as Egyptian could actually be a kind of gift to the Jewish people. Why? Meditation, and the concept of letting emotions, thoughts...

Literary characters like Othello, George Costanza, Josef K., and Marie Weltstern, allowed a thought of doubt to become their realities. In the Torah, we see how characters like Jacob and Joseph naturally overcome doubt through cultivation of a strong inner core and a robust physical and mental health. It is not enough to tell a person to be more reasonable; you must get them to feel more reasonable.

Even though Joseph credits God for all of his success in life, the Torah seems to be hinting that we should see ourselves as most responsible for our happiness and prosperity.

In this moment, the ball seems to decide for itself whether to go forward or go backward. "Luck" seems to decide -- but what is luck? This phenomenon of the tennis ball occurs in our dreams as well: we can dream about pretty much anything. We have no control over our dreams; they proceed irregardless of our intentions.

Religion and atheism, life and death, infinity and the moment, nihilism and transcendence. According to Thomas Mann, when Joseph and Jacob sat together in Jacob's tent, they celebrated a Passover seder. Does this view represent the theology of the Talmud or the secularism of biblical archaeology? Perhaps it can be both, and more. From Nietzsche's Zarathustra, we learn that, to arrive at Truth, a person must hold two contradictions simultaneously together, and artfully use one to triumph over the other.IG: Stevehead0001steventobyweinberg.com...

In this week's Parsha, we see how Isaac's unconscious allowed him to choose the right son to be the heir for Israel.

The modern world pressures us to see everything as "it" -- something to be used for personal gain and to be exploited. It is only when we see others as "You" -- as subjects rather than objects -- that we can feel completed and connected with the Universe. To see others, whether they be plants, animals, or humans, as "You" allows us to connect with the ultimate "You"--that of God. God is not a man with a long beard in the sky but Being...
