S1 E24: Physics
05/12/21 • 34 min
Who wanted to hear about Roadhouse again? Probably nobody, but there's another reference to it all the same! In this episode, Mark and Adam break down the Early Modern philosophical approach to Physics, covering philosophers and scientists such as Descartes, Galileo, and Isaac Newton. From Cartesian mechanistic physics to the revival of atomism and the Universal Law of Gravitation, the progress of science is discussed in determining what the natural world is. Also, Mark flagrantly insults the Lord of the Rings, and a question is posed: Is knowledge really knowledge if what you know is wrong?
