Podcasts about Edwin Abbott Abbott

Welcome to a fascinating journey into the limits of imagination, geometry, and scientific discovery. In this premiere episode of "The Scientists," a new series on the Into The Impossible Podcast Network, host Brian Keating—Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego—dives deep into the curious world of "Flatland," Edwin Abbott Abbott's mind-bending Victorian novel. But this isn't just dusty literature; it's a geometric allegory that shaped some of the greatest scientific minds, including Albert Einstein himself. Alongside surprising social commentary and a critique of rigid hierarchies, Keating unpacks the power of imagination in science, showing how boundary-pushing thinkers moved from heresy to genius. Sit back as you journey through dimensions with Brian Keating—plus a special segment from science communicator Carl Sagan—inviting you to rethink your own perspective on the universe and the unseen realities that might lie just beyond. Ready to challenge what you believe about reality? Stay curious and let's step into the impossible together. Please join my mailing list here

Flatland - A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott audiobook. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as 'The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.' As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Planolândia é a história das dimensões contada por um quadrado. Livro escrito em 1884, muito original e divertido. Poderia se chamar TERRAPLANA, mas acho que os tradutores quiseram evitar uma polemicazinha.
