Why We Need to Rebuild Physics from First Principles | Gabriele Carcassi

Подробнее о видео

Gabriele Carcassi is a dedicated physicist and software engineer based in Michigan, leading the innovative "Assumptions of Physics" project to redefine the foundational principles of physics. By bridging mathematics, physics, and philosophy, Gabriele advocates for an open-source, interdisciplinary approach to advance our understanding of the universe.
