Podcasts about Copernican Revolution

One of the great con jobs of the last 500 years was the Copernican Revolution and all that followed. The devil tempted us once again to throw aside the confines of God's words written in the Bible and to embark on the thrilling journey of figuring out the cosmos for ourselves.

Immanuel Kant was popular at his death. The whole town emptied out to see him. His last words were "it is good". But was his philosophy any good? In order to find out, we dive into Chapter 7 of Conjectures and Refutations: Kant's Critique and Cosmology, where Popper rescues Kant's reputation from the clutches of the dastardly German Idealists. We discuss Deontology vs consquentialism vs virtue ethics Kant's Categorical Imperative Kant's contributions to cosmology and politics Kant as a defender of the enlightenment Romanticism vs (German) idealism vs critical rationalism Kant's cosmology and cosmogony Kant's antimony and his proofs that the universe is both finite and infinite in time Kant's Copernican revolution and transcendental idealism Kant's morality Why Popper admired Kant so much, and why he compares him to Socrates Quotes Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! "Have courage to use your own understanding!" --that is the motto of enlightenment. - An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (Translated by Ted Humphrey, Hackett Publishing, 1992) (Alternate translation from Popper: Enlightenment is the emancipation of man from a state of self-imposed tutelage . . . of incapacity to use his own intelligence without external guidance. Such a state of tutelage I call ‘self-imposed' if it is due, not to lack of intelligence, but to lack of courage or determination to use one's own intelligence without the help of a leader. Sapere aude! Dare to use your own intelligence! This is the battle-cry of the Enlightenment.) - C&R, Chap 6 What lesson did Kant draw from these bewildering antinomies? He concluded that our ideas of space and time are inapplicable to the universe as a whole. We can, of course, apply the ideas of space and time to ordinary physical things and physical events. But space and time themselves are neither things nor events: they cannot even be observed: they are more elusive. They are a kind of framework for things and events: something like a system of pigeon-holes, or a filing system, for observations. Space and time are not part of the real empir- ical world of things and events, but rather part of our mental outfit, our apparatus for grasping this world. Their proper use is as instruments of observation: in observing any event we locate it, as a rule, immediately and intuitively in an order of space and time. Thus space and time may be described as a frame of reference which is not based upon experience but intuitively used in experience, and properly applicable to experience. This is why we get into trouble if we misapply the ideas of space and time by using them in a field which transcends all possible experience—as we did in our two proofs about the universe as a whole. ... To the view which I have just outlined Kant chose to give the ugly and doubly misleading name ‘Transcendental Idealism'. He soon regretted this choice, for it made people believe that he was an idealist in the sense of denying the reality of physical things: that he declared physical things to be mere ideas. Kant hastened to explain that he had only denied that space and time are empirical and real — empirical and real in the sense in which physical things and events are empirical and real. But in vain did he protest. His difficult style sealed his fate: he was to be revered as the father of German Idealism. I suggest that it is time to put this right. - C&R, Chap 6 Kant believed in the Enlightenment. He was its last great defender. I realize that this is not the usual view. While I see Kant as the defender of the Enlightenment, he is more often taken as the founder of the school which destroyed it—of the Romantic School of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. I contend that these two interpretations are incompatible. Fichte, and later Hegel, tried to appropriate Kant as the founder of their school. But Kant lived long enough to reject the persistent advances of Fichte, who proclaimed himself Kant's successor and heir. In A Public Declaration Concerning Fichte, which is too little known, Kant wrote: ‘May God protect us from our friends. . . . For there are fraudulent and perfidious so-called friends who are scheming for our ruin while speaking the language of good-will.' - C&R, Chap 6 As Kant puts it, Copernicus, finding that no progress was being made with the theory of the revolving heavens, broke the deadlock by turning the tables, as it were: he assumed that it is not the heavens which revolve while we the observers stand still, but that we the observers revolve while the heavens stand still. In a similar way, Kant says, the problem of scientific knowledge is to be solved — the problem how an exact science, such as Newtonian theory, is possible, and how it could ever have been found. We must give up the view that we are passive observers, waiting for nature to impress its regularity upon us. Instead we must adopt the view that in digesting our sense-data we actively impress the order and the laws of our intellect upon them. Our cosmos bears the imprint of our minds. - C&R, Chap 6 From Kant the cosmologist, the philosopher of knowledge and of science, I now turn to Kant the moralist. I do not know whether it has been noticed before that the fundamental idea of Kant's ethics amounts to another Copernican Revolution, analogous in every respect to the one I have described. For Kant makes man the lawgiver of morality just as he makes him the lawgiver of nature. And in doing so he gives back to man his central place both in his moral and in his physical universe. Kant humanized ethics, as he had humanized science. ... Kant's Copernican Revolution in the field of ethics is contained in his doctrine of autonomy—the doctrine that we cannot accept the command of an authority, however exalted, as the ultimate basis of ethics. For whenever we are faced with a command by an authority, it is our responsibility to judge whether this command is moral or immoral. The authority may have power to enforce its commands, and we may be powerless to resist. But unless we are physically prevented from choosing the responsibility remains ours. It is our decision whether to obey a command, whether to accept authority. - C&R, Chap 6 Stepping back further to get a still more distant view of Kant's historical role, we may compare him with Socrates. Both were accused of perverting the state religion, and of corrupting the minds of the young. Both denied the charge; and both stood up for freedom of thought. Freedom meant more to them than absence of constraint; it was for both a way of life. ... To this Socratic idea of self-sufficiency, which forms part of our western heritage, Kant has given a new meaning in the fields of both knowledge and morals. And he has added to it further the idea of a community of free men—of all men. For he has shown that every man is free; not because he is born free, but because he is born with the burden of responsibility for free decision. - C&R, Chap 6 Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

As a result of the Copernican Revolution, people began to cease thinking biblically about the earth and began to conceive of it as one of the planets - a wandering star, a fallen angel. The post What If I Told You that Planets Are Fallen Angels? appeared first on Third Peter.

This week we talk about the Copernican Revolution and the notable figures involved in the scientific paradigm shift.Contact: HistoricHole@gmail.com Instagram & Twitter & TikTok @HistoricHoleSam's Instagram @chavez_j.r

In this episode of The HOPEcast from Hope Church in Richmond, Virginia, Katie Nielsen and Senior Pastor David Dwight delve into a concept they term "the colossal shift". This idea, inspired by the Copernican Revolution, draws a parallel between the seismic change in humanity's understanding of the universe and the transformative journey of becoming a Christian.Pastor David Dwight elucidates that just as Copernicus' revelation that the Earth orbits the sun redefined our cosmic perspective, embracing Christianity reorients one's life to be God-centered rather than self-centered. This shift in perception, while seemingly inconsequential to daily life, brings profound implications for one's existence and sense of self.The conversation delves deeper into how this paradigm shift impacts prayer and spirituality, drawing insights from Eugene Peterson's book "Answering God". They discuss how the Psalms exemplify this God-centered approach, contrasting it with the more self-centered nature of modern American prayers.Further exploring the complexities of this shift, Pastor David Dwight and Katie Nielsen consider the lifelong journey from self-centrism to God-centrism, likening it to a continuous internal revolution. They reflect on how this realignment can fundamentally change how one views the world, themselves, and others.The episode also touches on Jesus's teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing the challenge of interpreting God-centric teachings with self-centric ears. They conclude by highlighting the resilience and stability of a life built around God, as opposed to the transient nature of a self-centered existence.Listeners are left to contemplate the profound nature of this "colossal shift" and its impact on personal faith and life orientation.

Hello Interactors,Who would've thought that R.E.M.'s hit tune "Stand" held the secrets to Western spatial thinking? This week I break it down for you. From Aristotle's "Stand in the place where you live" to Newton's "Carry a compass to help you along," it's like they were dropping knowledge bombs all along! So next time you get this '80s hit stuck in your head, remember, you're getting a crash course in geographic philosophy. Rock on!As interactors, you're special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You're also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let's go…IT'S FIXEDR.E.M.'s 1988 hit single, Stand, starts with this chorus:Stand in the place where you liveNow face northThink about directionWonder why you haven't beforeNow stand in the place where you wereNow face westThink about the place where you liveWonder why you haven't beforeFollowed by this verse:If you are confused, check with the sunCarry a compass to help you alongYour feet are going to be on the groundYour head is there to move you aroundWithout knowing it, they outlined what one researcher regards as the complete set of Western thought on space and place. In 1996, history and philosophy of geography professor Michael Curry identified just four distinct, but relational, notions of space that emerged two thousand years ago but continue to shape Western thought today.Curry's four main categories of space provide a framework for understanding different conceptualizations of space. These notions have influenced philosophical and scientific perspectives on space throughout history. Here they are:1. Static, Hierarchical, and Concrete Space (Aristotle 384-322 BC):This notion of space was influenced by Aristotle. It suggests objects and events have their natural places within the world. Aristotle associated the elements of earth, air, fire, and water with their respective natural places – a rock falls back to earth, water finds its way back to water, air flows to air, and fire moves upwards.This perspective views space as fixed and objects, and their elements, as being in specific positions within it. Curry reminds us that despite what modern science may say about the atomic structures and behavior of the world, we can see – as Aristotle did – that a bubble rises through water to find air like a frightened toddler running to their mother. And even with the best throw, there's no separating a rock from its mother earth. Aristotle embraced a qualitative notion of science, informed by what he perceived to be true. Even when we may know we're deceived. For example, we have to remind ourselves that the earth is not fixed and the sun does not set, even though it appears to be true.Aristotle's notion of space remained in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and guided all thought and action. But even though this Aristotelian common-sense view of the world can be seen even today, Curry notes that in 1277 the Church did its part to stamp it out. The Catholic church's passing of Condemnation of 1277 aimed at eradicating Aristotelian teachings. The Church also embraced mathematics in the Middle Ages, though later challenged advances in math that conflicted with religious doctrine, recognizing its truth, contribution to education, and sensing the economic and intellectual power it wielded.As the Enlightenment awoke, and with it the rise of Church-backed European geopolitical power, a more exacting view of space emerged. Surveying was ripped from the Roman ages and with it the gridding of land for political, economical, and military organizing and domination.Then, in the mid to late 1600s, Descartes further quantified space by marrying elements of algebra to geometry imbued with Christian religiosity. He, and the Church, preached – like Plato did – that this model of mathematical certainty is the bases of all knowledge. So, while the common sense, observational, and qualitative views of Aristotle are still with us today, they don't have nearly the influence over science Cartesian approaches do. Which leads us to Curry's second big influence on our notion of space.2. Absolute Grid Space (Newton 1642-1727):The second notion of space is most often associated with Isaac Newton. This conceptualization of space is influenced by Descartes and views space as an absolute grid. In this view, space is considered an infinite and independent entity within which objects exist and events occur. It is a framework where positions, distances, and directions can be precisely defined, a fixed reference frame allows for the measurement and calculation of an object's position and movement. Curry reminds us that Newton is largely regarded as a secular contributor to science, but like Descartes his work is riddled with religious overtones.His Christian view of space as infinite and eternal, where objects and motion are the work of an omnipresent God, are found in his 1686 Fundamental Principles of Natural Philosophy. He says God“is eternal and infinite, omnipotent and omniscient…He endures forever and is everywhere present. He is omnipresent not virtually only but also substantially…In him are all things contained and moved, yet neither affects the other; God suffers nothing from the motion of bodies, bodies find no resistance from the omnipresence of God.”But Newton's voice and influence was not alone. Which gets us to number three.IT'S ALL RELATIVE3. Relational Space (Leibniz 1646-1716):The third notion of space was influenced by Newton's contemporary Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He argued for a relational understanding of space. While adopting the scientific outlook of Newton, Leibniz attacked Newton's absolutist approach tinged with Christian orthodoxy. Whereas Newton rejected the senses, as they may deceive God's power and will, Leibniz emphasized the importance of considering how we sense relationships among objects and events. Because our eyes (with the help of our brain) can sense objects moving relative to one another, Leibniz argued space is fundamentally defined by these relationships. The positions and properties of objects are interdependent. This relational view highlights the dynamic and interconnected nature of spatial relationships that comes from motion of one object relative to another.This notion of spatial relationships, that some objects appear to move in absolute space while others remain stationary has echoes of both Descartes and Newton but without metaphysical religiosity. It also embraces elements of a human-centeredness that culminates in unique and individual spatial perceptions. This opened the door to number four.4. Imposed Form Space (Kant 1724-1804):The last notion of space, associated with the philosopher Immanuel Kant, challenges the previous perspectives by positing that space is something imposed on the world by humans. Kant argued that space is not an inherent quality of the external world but rather a framework through which humans perceive and organize their experiences. In this view, space is a subjective construct that shapes our understanding of the world.Kant very much believed in Descartes and Newton's mathematical truths in how to describe the world and how objects behave, but in his 1781 Critique of Pure Reason he questioned what we can really know about the world given it's all skewed by our perceptions. Curry recalls that Kant himself regard this shift in thinking as a ‘Copernican Revolution'. Just as Copernicus reoriented the universe by centering planets around the sun, Kant believed his critique of reason shifts the center of knowledge from what was thought to be known to the perception of the knower. He observed that even though something can be shown to be mathematically true, like gravity, we can't see gravity. We can calculate wind speed, but we can't see what caused the air to move. Kant's revolution opened the door for radical alternatives to describing the world, including the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry just thirty years after Kant's publication.Curry's four notions of Western spatial thought just may have culminated in a pop hit single in the 1980s. Aristotle would have liked that R.E.M. suggest we “check with the sun” given his version of space is all about the fixed positions of natural elements. Newton would commend them on advising to “carry a compass to help you along” an absolute grid space. Leibniz would remind the confident compass holder that while “your feet are going to be [at a point] on the ground, your head is there to move you around” relative to that point. And Kant would have told everyone to just stop and “think about the place where you live, wonder why you haven't before.” This is a public episode.

This episode of Spotlights features Rowan Deer, PhD, author of Radical Animism: Reading for the End of the World (Bloomsbury, 2020), which brings together literary, philosophical, and scientific perspectives to rethink animism for the Anthropocene. She discusses the way her book juxtaposes authors like Virginia Woolf, Lewis Carroll, and William Shakespeare with the Copernican Revolution, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious. She also discusses the the role of deconstruction in her writing, correcting some common misunderstandings of deconstruction and Jacques Derrida.More information about her book is available on the publisher's website here.  Some other pieces of interest include her article on fungi and language, "Mycorrhizal Metaphors," available open access at Ecozona.Another relevant essay is "Reading in the Dark," published by Orion Magazine.

In this brief episode, I reflect a bit on the Copernican Revolution and its influence on us! 

Today's article calls for a revolution. And like a number of revolutions in history, it is an attempt to dethrone a controversial king; one the author thinks has long outstayed his welcome, and led us all rather astray. He presents the way to our freedom, and the promise of truths therein. 

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the insight into our relationship with the world that Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) shared in his book The Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. It was as revolutionary, in his view, as when the Polish astronomer Copernicus realised that Earth revolves around the Sun rather than the Sun around Earth. Kant's was an insight into how we understand the world around us, arguing that we can never know the world as it is, but only through the structures of our minds which shape that understanding. This idea, that the world depends on us even though we do not create it, has been one of Kant's greatest contributions to philosophy and influences debates to this day.

How revolutionary was the Copernican Revolution?

We cover the spicy showdown between the two of the world's most headstrong philosophers: Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper. In a dingy Cambridge classroom Wittgenstein once threatened Popper with a fireplace poker. What led to the disagreement? In this episode, we continue with the Conjectures and Refutations series by analyzing Chapter 2: The Nature of Philosophical Problems And Their Roots In Science, where Popper outlines his agreements and disagreements with Mr. Ludwig Wittgenstein. We discuss: - Are there philosophical problems? - Why are scientific disciplines divided as they are? - How much of philosophy is meaningless pseudo-babble? (Hint: Not none) - Wittgenstein's background and feud between him and Popper - Wittgenstein 1 and 2 (pre and post Tractatus) - The danger of philosophical inbreeding - Two of Popper's examples of philosophical problems: 1. Plato and the Crisis in Early Greek Atomism 2. Immanuel Kant's Problem of Knowledge. - Musica universalis - The Problem of Change - How is knowledge possible? Quotes My first thesis is that every philosophy, and especially every philosophical ‘school', is liable to degenerate in such a way that its problems become practically indistinguishable from pseudo-problems, and its cant, accordingly, practically indistinguishable from meaningless babble. This, I shall try to show, is a consequence of philosophical inbreeding. The degeneration of philosophical schools in its turn is the consequence of the mistaken belief that one can philosophize without having been compelled to philosophize by problems which arise outside philosophy—in mathematics, for example, or in cosmology, or in politics, or in religion, or in social life. In other words my first thesis is this. Genuine philosophical problems are always rooted in urgent problems outside philosophy, and they die if these roots decay. C&R p.95 His question, we now know, or believe we know, should have been: ‘How are successful conjectures possible?' And our answer, in the spirit of his Copernican Revolution, might, I suggest, be something like this: Because, as you said, we are not passive receptors of sense data, but active organisms. Because we react to our environment not always merely instinctively, but sometimes consciously and freely. Because we can invent myths, stories, theories; because we have a thirst for explanation, an insatiable curiosity, a wish to know. Because we not only invent stories and theories, but try them out and see whether they work and how they work. Because by a great effort, by trying hard and making many mistakes, we may sometimes, if we are lucky, succeed in hitting upon a story, an explanation, which ‘saves the phenomena'; perhaps by making up a myth about ‘invisibles', such as atoms or gravitational forces, which explain the visible. Because knowledge is an adventure of ideas. C&R p.128 If you were to threaten us with a common household object, what would it be?

Podcast #282: Mike Christensen on Deliberate Practice: Was David Right All Along? Rhonda and I are thrilled to welcome Mike Christiansen, head of TEAM-CBT in Canada. Mike is a fantastic clinician and teacher, and an old beloved friend. Today he talks about the impact of David's work that is finally being felt and appreciated by innovators in the field of psychiatry and psychology. Rhonda begins the broadcast by reading a really touching endorsement from a young man in Turkey whose life was changed by David's work after he came close to suicide. One of the key's was David's statement that we are disturbed, not by events, but by our thoughts about them.” Of course, that incredible idea goes back all the way to the Greek philosopher, Epictetus, nearly 2,000 years ago. It is so basic that most people don't “get it,” but once you do, it can be mind-blowing. The young man ended his note to David by saying that, “Life is beautiful now. Thank you!” Mike described a similar enlightenment experience when he was doing counseling, and first attended one of David's intensive workshops in Canada. He knew that his training did not provide him with the tools to make much of an impact on his patients. He was excited by what he learned, and subsequently attended many of David's workshops, and became certified in TEAM-CBT. Mike now teaches from around the world at the Feeling Good institute in Mt. View, California. He teaches a highly acclaimed 12 week introductory course in TEAM. If you are looking for some in depth training, Rhonda and I would STRONGLY recommend this class. Mike described a vitally important new direction in psychotherapy called “Deliberate Practice,” and is co-authoring a book on this topic with Maor Katz, MD, head of the Feeling Good Institute, and two pioneers in deliberate practice, Tony Rousmaniere & Alex Vaz. Essentially, Deliberate Practice refers to two things. First, therapists must use rating scales, like the ones David has created, to assess patients progress in multiple dimensions, as well as their perceptions of therapist empathy and helpfulness, at every single session. This keep therapists on their toes, and gives them a crystal clear picture of their effectiveness or lack of effectiveness with every patient at every session. Although this can often be painful for the therapist, it can transform the therapist's clinical skills and turn every patient into the finest teacher the clinician has ever had! Second, deliberate practice refers to refined training tools for therapists to practice on an ongoing basis, not only when learning therapy for the first time, but throughout your entire career. The key is doing short, role plan exercises that focus on specific tools, like the Five Secrets of Effective Communication during the E = Empathy step of TEAAM, or the “Invitation Step” at the start of A = Assessment of Resistance, or the Externalization of Voices during M = Methods. And here's the most important part. After the role play, the student is given a letter grade plus specific feedback on what she or he did right and what needs improvement. Then you do repeat role reversals until the student gets an A. David compares this to the type of training a professional athlete might receive to improve his or her skills at basketball or any sport. However, this also requires great motivation and courage on the part of those who are learning and teaching, because every error is highlighted—there's no hiding! That's why the philosophy of learning in the spirit of “joyous failure” is crucial to survival and success! Rhonda, Mike, and David demonstrated this strategy several times, focusing on the Invitation Step of the Assessment of Resistance with an “easy” as well as a more “challenging patient. Sure enough, grades below an A WERE received, and errors WERE pointed out. And, in addition, grades of A were fairly readily achieved, showing that this type of “deliberate practice” definitely DOES work. During the podcast I took the opportunity to vent some of my frustrations with the field, and Mike and Rhonda kindly didn't point out that I probably sounded like a half-demented loony. But I do feel strongly about this topic, and extremely proud of the amazing work that Mike is doing on so many levels. Most therapists resist rating scales. One of my students did a survey for his PhD research, and it seemed like only a small percent (less than 5%) of the psychologists he polled who advertise in the Psychology Today website are using ratings scales to track patient progress. To me, this is both unethical, anti-scientific, and totally unacceptable. Therapists have endless excuses for resisting, and all of the excuses are spurious. For example, they think patients won't be honest, but the big problem is that the overwhelming majority of patients ARE honest, and therapists don't want to hear the truth bout their errors and ineptitude. I do not support, but rather condemn, therapists who refuse to use rating instruments. To me, this is the “unforgivable sin” in our profession. I also believe that the use of valid and highly reliable rating instruments will eventually be required for licensure, and the “science resisters” will soon be a thing of the past. The field of psychotherapy definitely needs to move into the data-driven scientific era, and leave the current “schools of therapy,” which compete like religions, or even cults, behind, just as physics and astronomy broke away from the Catholic Church during the Copernican Revolution hundreds of years ago. So, Mike is definitely working on the cutting edge, and he's just awesome! If you get the chance to take one of his TEAM-CBT classes, jump on it! He will connect with you intellectually, emotionally, and, if I can use a politically incorrect word, spiritually! Warmly, David, Rhonda & Mike

Transcript: Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to the Kingdom Perspective. Science is God's gift to humanity. It is a particular form of knowledge that is intuitive to us as those made in the image of God. That's why, historically, modern science blossomed in a context suffused with a Christian imagination—a context where it was acknowledged that we live in an orderly universe created by an orderly God, that empowered rational creatures, beings made in God's image, to explore and care for that world. This is why the true scientist is always curious. Science is always a learner. The Bible commands us to ponder and be curious about God and all that He has made. Science is never content with the facts at hand. It wants to know more. Moreover, it doesn't accept facts as conclusions. Rather, it wants to see all the data, all the angles. It asks questions of any conclusion, trying to see if there's another way to see it. Thus, the history of science is one of revolution—the overturning of former conclusions in the face of newer ones that take into account more data points, thus, giving us a bigger picture. So, for example, we speak of the Copernican Revolution, overturning the longstanding ancient Greco-Roman understanding of the solar system (the Ptolemaic model). Thus, a posture of science that is too dogmatic, too entrenched in the given assumptions of any “scientific establishment”, is not the posture of true science. It ceases to be a learner; it ceases to be curious. And so, science is skeptical not only of the skepticism of the “science deniers”, but also it is reasonably skeptical of the received scientific wisdom itself. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” ~ Job 38:1-7 (ESV)

It's Christmas week! Join Fr. Daniele and his Christmas elves Josh and Mat as they discuss all things Christmas. In this week's episode, we discuss: “Where did Christmas come from?”, “Christmas is more than just Jesus's birthday” and more. Find out why Mat even references the “Copernican Revolution” and whether Josh says “Merry Christmas” when going through the automated checkout.

There is a spiritual revolution underway similar to the Copernican Revolution in astronomy. Just as Copernicus and Galileo moved science beyond the geocentric view to the heliocentric view, so now there is a movement moving spirituality from an egocentric to a noncentric awareness of reality.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the insight into our relationship with the world that Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) shared in his book The Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. It was as revolutionary, in his view, as when the Polish astronomer Copernicus realised that Earth revolves around the Sun rather than the Sun around Earth. Kant's was an insight into how we understand the world around us, arguing that we can never know the world as it is, but only through the structures of our minds which shape that understanding. This idea, that the world depends on us even though we do not create it, has been one of Kant's greatest contributions to philosophy and influences debates to this day.

Today in 1473  the mathematician, astronomer, and priest Copernicus was born in Poland. He famously formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at the centre of the universe, which lead to the rethinking of reality, a Copernican Revolution.

.We take a look at the birth of science in the first of a two part double episode. Both starring Charlie's Angel. We look at the beginning of the concept of discovery as a deliberate activity kicked of by the voyages of discovery.Then we look at issues of the birth of science through the Copernican Revolution to Newton and the Principia. Early scientists in Catholic countries during the Counter Reformation faced great difficulties, not limited to the threat of being burned alive.This episode covers Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, William Harvey, Gibson, and Kepler. We get about halfway through Galileo, whose difficulties were much greater due to the interest of the Inquisition and his prosecution. Galileo's prosecutor became a saint.Episode 39 will conclude with the rest of Galileo and also cover Descartes and Newton.

Space: the final frontier... Nothing captivates our imagination like the vast expanse of outer space. For as long as humans have been alive, we've been inspired by the stars, the planets, and what exists beyond our terrestrial shell. In this miniseries, we are going to explore some of the ways that the leading edge of astronomy, astrophysics, astrobiology, and other astro-disciplines are pushing us to reexamine and redefine our theologies. We're kicking this project off with a simple question:   "What will be the next Copernican Revolution?"   Support this podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DowntheWormholepodcast   More information at https://www.downthewormhole.com/   produced by Zack Jacksonmusic by Zack Jackson and Barton Willis

Sermon Notes:Turning the universe the right way round…1. Glory demands worship (Ps 29)2. Grace restores worship (Exod 7:16)

Given the news of the day, we reached out to Bill Gilbreth, the prominent attorney who served both as a prosecutor during the Watergate hearings, and as a defense attorney for several organized crime figures. Talk about "intersectionality." We also talk about sending federal Border Patrol troops into Portland and other cities, the showdown between protestors, mayors and President Trump. Bill grew up in the Fresno area where he was an often-truant student who dropped out of high school to ride the rails and also attempted to join Castro's revolution in Cuba. When presented an opportunity to complete his education, he made the most of it, eventually graduating from Harvard Law School after a stint as a physicist at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. He remembers most fondly his years working in the office of the 2nd District of New York federal court under the aegis of the legendary Bob Morgenthau. He also still maintains a close friendship with former fellow colleague, Lawrence Tribe, who still teaches at Harvard and who is among America's foremost public intellectuals. We also talk about the lessons of the past, particularly the pivotal post-pandemic election of 1920, Abraham Lincoln's evolving attitudes toward slavery and equality, and whether Lincoln or FDR was our best president. Bill has also been studying the key astronomers in the Copernican Revolution such as Tycho Brahe and Galileo. Einstein comes up, as well, who was a poor student but used connections to get a job at the Swiss patent office, where he spent his off-time creating the field of physics as we know it today. In 1905, he published four papers that changed the world forever, including the general theory of relativity and photoelectric effects that won him the Nobel Prize. That's not to mention many other jobs Bill Gilbreth has had, including being past president of the Rotary Club of Ojai. Bill is also such a dedicated yoga practitioner that he can go directly from a crow pose into a headstand. We did not talk about the 3rd Punic War, the advent of 5G or the KKK.

In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with David Johnston on reservoir monitoring, the featured special section in July's The Leading Edge. This conversation covers a great deal of valuable information in a short time. David shares why reservoir monitoring is the specialization for generalists, the future and value of carbon sequestration, and why he believes there is another Copernican Revolution coming. He also breaks down reservoir monitoring in an easy-to-understand way by relating it to how we control the temperature in our home. If you are considering specializing in reservoir monitoring, want to learn how to work better with other disciplines, or simply want to hear a great preview of July's the Leading Edge, this episode will meet your goals. Visit https://seg.org/podcast/Post/9081 for the complete show notes and links to this month's special section on reservoir monitoring. BIOGRAPHY David H. Johnston is Managing Director of Differential Seismic, LLC, a geophysics consultancy. Dr. Johnston retired from ExxonMobil in 2017 after a 38-year career in research, exploration, and production. He was responsible for the development and commercialization of 4D seismic technology in ExxonMobil and was Geophysics Coordinator for ExxonMobil Production Company, where he provided technical and business stewardship of ExxonMobil’s global production geophysics activity. Dr. Johnston earned a Bachelor of Science degree in earth sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973 and a Ph.D. in geophysics in 1978, also from MIT. Dr. Johnston has received numerous awards from the SEG and in 2013 he served as the SEG Distinguished Short Course Instructor. CREDITS Original music by Zach Bridges.

Ever wanted to learn philosophy from drunk people? Us, neither. Here's a collection of mini-episodes as Connor and the "Two Joes" attempt to teach some of the fundamental ideas and thinkers in the history of philosophy, from the Ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment and beyond. These conversations are some of the earliest we had, back when we were trying to be professorial and educational. Originally improvised audio tests, after recovering them from an old hard drive, they are lost no more. Hopefully you'll share in our passion and interest as you follow us from insightful dialogue to drunken mishaps. The conversations featured in this episode are: 0:25 - A Very Brief Introduction to René Descartes' Meditations. Topics covered: "I think therefore I am", Cartesian doubt, Cartesian dualism. 6:15- Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions & Paradigm Theory. Topics covered: Paradigm shifts, Scientism, The Copernican Revolution, Normal science v. revolutionary science, (We're not scientists). 30:40 - Plato's Republic & Why We Read it. Topics covered: Socratic dialogues, Thrasymachus, The Cave, the Forms, Contextual reading and why philosophy is important to read.

The management methods and practices that have been gathered under the term agile claim the status of a Copernican Revolution. Agile reverses the traditional view of business revolving around the firm, instead placing the customer at the center and viewing all other elements as revolving around the customer. This is a welcome development — but just a step towards the Austrian vision of consumer sovereignty and the concept of value as created by the consumer, not the producer. Key Takeaways And Actionable Insights We examined the three "Laws of Agile" proposed by Stephen Denning in his book The Age Of Agile, and Per Bylund notes the elements that are useful for entrepreneurs, and the extra insights provided by Austrian Economics that can help entrepreneurs to perform at a higher level in facilitating value experiences for their customers and consumers. The Law Of The Customer Agile recognizes that the one valid definition of business purpose is to create a customer.The customer — with mercurial thoughts and feelings — is at the center, and demands to be delighted.What the firm thinks it produces is less important than what the customer thinks he / she is buying — what they consider “value”.Everyone in the firm must view the world from the customer's perspective, and share the goal of delighting the customer.The firm must have accurate and thorough knowledge of the customer.Continuous innovation is a requirement to delight customers.The firm's structure changes with the marketplace.Speed of response becomes crucial and time is a strategic weapon. Austrian Enhancements The Austrian concept of Customer Sovereignty is even more powerful for entrepreneurs — customers create firms, in the sense that customers decide what is produced by buying / not buying, and therefore which firms are successful.Value is subjective — and so customer preferences can change rapidly and frequently.Responsiveness is not enough — the goal is to imagine the customer's future needs, and involve them in the production of future value. The Law Of Network Collaborative network of competence replaces hierarchy of authority.The network has no leader, but it does have a shared, compelling goal.The network is the sum of the small groups (rather than individuals) it contains.Each group has an action orientation.The network's administrative framework stays in the background. No bureaucratic reporting. Austrian Enhancements Agile is based on too narrow a view of the economic network. It's still producer-centric.The true network is the market — which includes customers (of which there are many more than firms, and who exert more economic influence than firms).Networking the production side of the firm is an incomplete act.A fully-functioning network includes customers and consumers with equally valid connections to the firm, not just collaborative production partners. The Law of Small Teams Big and difficult problems are disaggregated into small batches and performed by small cross functional teams — scaling down the problem.7 +/- 2 is a good rule of thumb for team size.Each team is autonomous, and works in small batches and short cycles.Each team aims to get to “done” — it's binary: either done or not done, never almost done.No interruption.Radical transparency.Customer feedback each cycle.Retrospective reviews. Austrian Enhancements A pure focus on short term execution can divert attention away from longer term considerations – especially, imagining the future, which is the core component of entrepreneurship.Focus on creating value for the future, while ensuring no loss of current reputation and relationship.Administration — and therefore “bureaucracy” — can't be eliminated entirely without a reduction in customer value.Required services can be a component of value creation — such as compliance, operations management, etc. Additional Resource "The Laws of Agile Meet Austrian Economics" (PDF): Mises.org/E4E_38_PDF

About this book:An exploration of how acceptance of panspermia will soon change history • Offers extensive scientific proof of panspermia--that life arose on Earth via comets and that evolution is seeded by viruses arriving via comets and interstellar dust • Explores the major philosophical, psychological, cultural, religious, and environmental ramifications of the acceptance of this new scientific worldview Mainstream consensus is that life arose on Earth spontaneously out of “primordial soup.” Yet this theory, as well as the Darwinian “survival of the fittest” concept as it relates to major steps in evolution, has no scientific basis or proof. Where, then, did life come from? As the authors show, with conclusive scientific evidence, life came from space--a concept known as “panspermia.” We humans, and all other life on Earth, evolved over millennia in response to viruses that arrived via comets, and we continue to do so. Exploring the philosophical, psychological, cultural, and environmental ramifications of the acceptance of panspermia, the authors show how the shift will be on par with the Copernican Revolution--when it was finally accepted that the Earth was not the center of the Universe. Explaining the origins of the panspermia theory in the work of the late Sir Fred Hoyle, the authors reveal the vast body of evidence that has accumulated over the past 4 decades in favor of the cosmic origins of life, including viral inserts found in DNA that have shaped our human genome over millions of years. They show how the tiniest of viruses, microscopic animals (tardigrades), and even seeds have been found to be natural cosmonauts. The authors also show how space-borne viruses play a crucial role in the positive evolution of life and that our entire existence on this planet is contingent on the continuing ingress of cosmic viruses. Revealing how panspermia offers answers to some of humanity’s longstanding questions about the origins of life, the authors discuss the impact this shift in understanding will have on our relationship with the Earth and on culture, history, and religion. And perhaps the most dramatic ramification of all is that acceptance of panspermia means acceptance that Earth is not unique--that other life-filled planets exist and intelligent life is common in the Universe. Not only did we come from space, but we are not alone.

Sermon on 2-3-19 Rediscovering the Grace of God Pastor Greg Doll

"The Copernican Revolution" draws the Hunters attention to issues of science and faith. What does make for war between these two important entities? Pastor Joel and his son, physician Joel, have some great insights from two very different perspectives.

Pastor Craig Mosgrove concludes the year with a message that is both reflective and challenging. We all need "a Copernican Revolution of the Soul"!

From Maglioni, Thomson, "Time Machines", vol. 1, CIDEB, p. 73

Young-Earth creationists who are not geocentrists - those who accept the Copernican Revolution so far as Earth's place in the universe - have a vested interest in combatting some forms of pseudoscience, including geocentrism. In this episode, I lay out some of their more convincing arguments against geocentrism and point out that their methods of argument are very similar to scientists, which leads one to wonder about hoe much cognitive dissonance one mind can hold.

David R. George III: Sacraments of Fire. When The Soul Key ended in 2009, Star Trek fans were left with a massive cliffhanger as Illiana Ghemor stood in front of the Ascendants and proclaimed; " I am the Fire." Unfortunately the story of the Ascendants arc was lost as the DS9 books caught up with the rest of the 24th century in the Typhon Pact series. that is, until now.  In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther welcome author David R. George III back to discuss is latest DS9 novel, Sacraments of Fire which begins the final arc of the Ascendants story. We talk about stitching together the DS9 quilt, what goes where, the different faces of faith, Ro's growth, a place for Sisko, the many plot threads, the new DS9, tidbits about Ascendance and where to find David online.   Hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther   Guest David R.

The Copernican Revolution - Thomas Daniel - July 12 by Covenant Presbyterian

Robert S. Westman, discusses "Beyond the Copernican Revolution”. Westman is a Professor in the Department of History at the University of California, San Diego.

Charles B. Cross (University of Georgia) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (20 June, 2012) titled "A Copernican Revolution for Modal Fictionalism". Abstract: According to Modal Fictionalism, the analysans in the possible-worlds analysis of a modal claim should be understood as occurring within the scope of a (normally untokened) story operator or prefix. Placing a piece of discourse behind a story prefix, on this view, cancels any commitment to the existence of items postulated by the "story". Modal Fictionalism faces persistent objections, however, and I argue that the best option in the face of these objections is a revolutionary reformulation. Given this reformulation, the usual objections to Modal Fictionalism simply vanish.

We examine the indisputable one correct way to view the star wars films, as well as art for realizing the world doesn't revolve around you, sunshine. We also discuss Towerbot's singing career, which is going very well, thank you very much.

Transcript: Is there life in the Universe beyond the Earth? After centuries of speculation, scientists are finally developing the tools to answer this fundamental question about our place in the universe. The discovery of life beyond Earth would be perhaps the final step in the Copernican Revolution. Copernicus showed that the Earth is not the center of the universe, that the planets are other bodies like the Earth, that the Sun is the center of the solar system. Since then we have found that the Sun is just a typical star, and the Milky Way is just a typical galaxy. In a universe filled with billions of galaxies and many trillions of stars, how unlikely would it be that the Earth is the only place where life developed? This is speculation. Scientists need the methods of science to answer the question. The scientific method is on thin ice talking about life in the universe because we only have one example to study, life on Earth. The history of life on Earth can teach us lessons, but in the end we need data or evidence from beyond the Earth to answer the question. The study of life on the Earth is the subject of astrobiology. It’s an interdisciplinary pursuit occupying scientists in physics, astronomy, space science, biology, chemistry, and even sociology. Finally we may be on the verge of answering this question.

Transcript: It may or may not be reassuring to know that SETI researchers have protocols in place for what to do if we finally detect evidence of intelligent aliens in space. Protocols have been set up to contact the United Nations and the world leaders and to avoid the widespread panic that might ensue. The truth is, we have no idea of the likelihood of SETI experiments being successful. We are compelled to do such experiments, and almost all that we know is that the idea and the reality of finding intelligence elsewhere will change us forever. Since our lifetime of a civilization and of the human species is so much less than the age of the Milky Way, it’s most likely that anyone we contact is likely to be far more advanced than us which is a sobering thought. The discovery of life or intelligence in the universe would be the final step in the Copernican Revolution with dramatic impacts on human culture and religion.

Transcript: Very few books ever changed the world, but in 1543 Copernicus published such a book called On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres. This book was the first presentation for many centuries of the idea of a heliocentric solar system, the sun at the center, and the Earth and all the other planets in motion around it. When we use the word revolution we tend to think of social and political upheaval and rapid change, but our use of this word to describe a social and political context actually dates back to and is referenced to Copernicus’s revolutionary book which changed our view of our place in space. With the Copernican revolution we were finally displaced from our centrality in the scheme of things. The Earth was just one celestial body moving amongst other celestial bodies with the sun at the center of the arrangement.
