The Physics and Philosophy of Time - with Carlo Rovelli Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 34 Views • 5 years ago

From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Carlo Rovelli brings together physics, philosophy and art to unravel the mystery of time.

Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.

Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who has made significant contributions to the physics of space and time. He has worked in Italy and the US, and is currently directing the quantum gravity research group of the Centre de physique théorique in Marseille, France. His books 'Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' and 'Reality Is Not What It Seems' are international bestsellers translated into forty-one languages.

This talk and Q&A was filmed in the Ri on 30 April 2018.

African Food Basket: Innovations, Interventions and Strategic Partnerships | 2013 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 34 Views • 5 years ago

Africa Program

After an introduction by Wilson Center President Jane Harman, Malawian President Mutharika proceeded to outline the initiative that he had begun, as Chairman of the Africa Union in 2010, on the African Food Basket.

"The greatest challenge facing humanity in modern times is not the threat of nuclear proliferation, but the threat to peace and security arising from failure to produce enough food to feed humanity" remarked President Mutharika. He noted, however, that with targeted investments and enhanced cooperation between African governments and international actors, Africa would be capable of feeding itself and the entire world.

Event speakers: Steve McDonald, Jane Harman, H.E. Ngwazi Prof. Bingu wa Mutharika
