Week 3: Post 1 - Expert Lecture

Professor Edward O. Wilson at Harvard University wrote many books, one of them is Social Biology which was one of the Wilson’s best selling which was about biology and social behavior. Wilson mentioned that if we can get into the brain, such as neurons, we can probably figure out human behavior and self conscious and we would be able to track every part of the brain. He also mentions there is no conperiecy in science, the goal of scientist is to make a discovery and even if you found something, you still keep looking.

Richard Dawkins and the strangeness of science at the Oxford. Dawkins, started off with Quantum theory, and Feynman works. Dawkins, did talk about some really interesting stuff, such as what is the war made of, of course atoms. I really like couple of jokes he made throughout the video. Dawkins also mentions the theory of big bang, and why we are here in this universe. Moreover, he talks about, if we understand the quantum theory, and we know that we understood quantum physics, we still don’t have full understanding of quantum theory.
