Sight through thought

This video is part of our continuing series looking at the philosophical framework and intellectual tools that power the scientific method. One of the most important and powerful tools, which is foundational to the scientific method, is mathematics. We began...

This thought video I’m afraid is a little dark so if you don’t want to face the bad news of global warming I suggest you don’t watch this one. In the video I explain why I think we are in...

This video is part of a series that examines the underlying philosophical framework that underpins the scientific method. Part of that framework is the idea that the tool of mathematics accurately describes the operations of our universe. Perhaps one of...

In this video we begin our journey into the final tool that underpins the scientific method and that is mathematics. Our ultimate aim over the next few videos is to prove the famous Einsteinian equation Energy=mc2. In order to do...

In my first two videos I presented the four presuppositions that underpin the scientific method. These axioms all started with the letter “C” and were: Coherence Co-existence Correspondence Conservation This week we move to our first actual tool of science...

This is the second video in my series on the philosophical presuppositions or axioms that underpin the scientific method. The four presuppositions (all starting with the letter “C”) are: 0. Coherence 1. Co-existence 2. Correspondence 3. Conservation In this video...

This is the first of a video series examining the underlying philosophical assumptions or presuppositions that underpin the scientific method. In this video I begin by examine two such principles which I have given a single word term for. These...

In this video I explore the question of whether the scientific method has its limits in terms of the addressing the challenges we currently face. The correct answer to this question is particularly critical in relation to the most pressing...
