SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Looking-Glass: Wholeness in Modern Science \n\n\n\nWith Jonathan Allday\, Vasileios Basios\, John Briggs\, Jeff Dunne\, Stuart Kauffman\, Katherine Peil Kauffman\, Paavo Pylkkänen. \n\n\n\nMarch 1 – 16\, 20259am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\n6 two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn exploration of themes from the book Looking-Glass Universe by F. David Peat and John Briggs. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe takes a fascinating look at the wholeness revolution in physics\, mathematics\, chemistry\, biology and neurophysiology\, and the scientists whose converging theories are changing our understanding of how the universe works. The series will explore how far the themes of the book Looking-Glass Universe have developed since it was first published.  \n\n\n\nThe ‘looking-glass’ theories propose that we are at this very moment living in an Alice-in-Wonderland universe where each part is in fact the whole\, where scientists conducting an experiment are themselves the experiment\, and even inanimate objects contain consciousness. These theories give scientific meaning to the ancient mystical idea that the universe is One. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe by John Briggs and F. David Peat will be released in a new edition this year with physicist Jonathan Allday filling in readers on how science has evolved in the 40 years since the book first appeared. He reviews the progress towards a looking-glass view of the universe and updating aspects of the text in line with current scientific thinking. \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that two of the authors\, John Briggs and Jonathan Allday\, will be presenting during this series. \n\n\n\nSessions\n\n\n\nLooking Glass UniverseWith Jonathan Allday and John BriggsSaturday March 1 \n\n\n\nDavid BohmWith Jonathan Allday and Paavo PylkkänenSunday March 2 \n\n\n\nObjectivity: The Mythical Border Between Science and ScientistsWith Jeff DunneSaturday March 8 \n\n\n\nEppur Si Muove!

SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass - David Bohm
DESCRIPTION:David Bohm \n\n\n\nwith Jonathan Allday and Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 2\, 20259am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond the Looking-Glass\, Session 2 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the key scientists featured in the book Looking Glass Universe was David Bohm. One of the original authors\, David Peat\, was a friend and collaborator of Bohm. The philosopher\, Paavo Pylkkänen\, also knew Bohm and has worked on developments of his ideas.  \n\n\n\nIn this conversation\, we will discuss Bohm’s life\, his personality\, important aspects of his work and view of wholeness and how the work continues to be developed. Inevitably\, we will also talk about our mutual friend and Bohm collaborator\, Basil Hiley\, who died recently. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Allday was born in Liverpool in 1960. He did his first degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge in 1982 and then returned to Liverpool to complete a PhD in elementary particle physics. As part of this\, he was fortunate to spend some time working at the European particle physics centre\, CERN\, in Geneva. \n\n\n\nAlso\, during that time he was co-opted onto a working party looking at the teaching of particle physics in schools and universities. The upshot was a new syllabus in particle physics and cosmology to be added to UK A-level (16-18) physics qualifications. The first questions were set in 1992. \n\n\n\nOn the back of the work on this syllabus\, Jonathan wrote his first book Quarks\, Leptons and the Big Bang\, which was published in 1998 and is about to enter its fourth edition. Jonathan has also collaborated on a couple of textbooks and written his own books on Quantum Theory\, General Relativity and the Apollo moon missions. \n\n\n\nProfessionally\, Jonathan worked as a physics teacher for 30 years in a variety of independent day and boarding schools in the UK. He was a head of physics\, a head of science and latterly an academic deputy head. He retired in 2020 and now runs a consulting company providing training and educational advice for schools. \n\n\n\nJonathan is married to Carolyn\, and they have three sons all of whom are far better at sport than he was. Carolyn was a GB swimmer\, which explains how come the boys can do sport. Jonathan and Carolyn live in a hamlet not far from Worcester in the UK. When not writing or consulting\, Jonathan enjoys watching cricket\, James Bond movies and Formula 1 races. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaavo Pylkkänen\, PhD\, is Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Philosophy and Director of the Bachelor’s Program in Philosophy at the University of Helsinki\, Finland. He is also Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy (currently on leave) at the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience and Philosophy\, University of Skövde\, Sweden\, where he initiated a Consciousness Studies Programme. His main research areas are philosophy of mind\, philosophy of physics and their intersection. In his book Mind\, Matter and the Implicate Order (Springer) he proposed that new notions emerging from quantum physics (especially Bohm and Hiley’s interpretation) provide new ways of approaching key problems in philosophy of mind\, such as mental causation and time consciousness.  In 2018-2020 working as the Vice Dean of Research at the Faculty of Arts he had the main responsibility for developing the new profiling area Mind and Matter for the University of Helsinki https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/mind-and-matter.  \n\n\n\nPaavo Pylkkänen has been a visiting researcher in Stanford University\, Oxford University\, London University\, Charles University Prague and Gothenburg University and was a member of the Academy of Finland Center of Excellence in the Philosophy of Social Sciences (TINT).
