| Sumario: | <!--HTML--><HTML>Richard Dawkins will speak on biology, Gerard ât Hooft will focus on physics, and Alain Connes will discuss mathematics.<BR> CERN scientists probe ever-deeper levels of matter and their interactions, but can we say that the patterns they see are truly fundamental? Does the universe obey the same laws throughout? Since mathematical constructions can be true in the absence of any relation to the physical world, is mathematics more fundamental than physics? Extraterrestrial life would probably look much different from that on Earth, but natural selection still be fundamental to their evolution?<BR> |
