Lecturer, Dr. Simon Steven, Gettysburg College.

Dr. Steven Gimbel of Gettysburg College shows how physics and philosophy work together to reveal the true nature of the universe. Physics makes the discoveries and philosophy interprets the results. Those results have been very odd since the turn of the twentieth century, with relativity, quantum theory, and Big Bang cosmology overthrowing the conventional picture of reality.
