If one opens any dictionary and you go to the entry of demon, one of the entries refers to the scientific demons. Descartes' demons, Laplace's demon, Maxwell's demon, they're not considered to be real when they're first mentioned, they're considered to be possibly real. They're trying to find a hole in theories. What they are, in the most literal sense, are little creatures that are concocted by scientists. When they're confronted with something that they don't really understand, these creatures that we have always thought of as little entities that can bend or break the laws of nature continue to be very useful and very common ways of thinking in advancing our knowledge and understanding of the natural world. These demons share similar characteristics to those other demons in the past, like Beelzebub and Lucifer. They can break the laws of nature, they're not necessarily evil, but they create power imbalances. They can be helpful or they can be mischievous to science. ------------------------------------------------------------- About Jimena Canales: Jimena Canales is an expert in 19th and 20th century history of the physical sciences, working for a better understanding of science and technology in relation to the arts and humanities.She received an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in the History of Science and a BSc in Engineering Physics from the Tecnológico de Monterrey.

Jimena Canales shares the “demons” that shaped computer science. Just like the mailer demons you may have seen pop up on an undelivered email, there are hundreds of other software “demons” that live inside your computer. Whenever a computer completes an automated task, they are said to be done by computer demons. These demons are anthropomorphized figures that help computer scientists understand complicated processes, which in turn drives AI forward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jimena Canales: Jimena Canales is an expert in 19th and 20th century history of the physical sciences, working for a better understanding of science and technology in relation to the arts and humanities.She received an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in the History of Science and a BSc in Engineering Physics from the Tecnológico de Monterrey.

We haven't talked about the incident at Travis Scott's Astroworld yet, which happened in Houston, Texas. 8 people were dead and hundreds were injured. There was so much demonic imagery at this concert and Jimena Canales, author of “Bedeviled” comments on how the awareness of the demonic and the spiritual has not gone away with the increase of technology. We saw that at the Travis Scott concert.

Unlike religion, which banishes demons, the “demons” of science are the problems without clear solutions, and the goal there is to actually bring them to life. Jimena Canales of the University of Illinois joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the scientific thought process of some of the world’s most brilliant minds, a wild journey into imagination, fear, and theory to make the impossible, possible. Her book is “Bedeviled: A Shadow History of Demons in Science.”

When Jimena Canales went looking, she found them everywhere. But Science's demons are not the supernatural souls of religion.

Once upon a time, Henri Bergson had the world at his feet. In the early part of the 20th century, he was the philosopher du jour—celebrated in popular culture, his advice trusted by powerful figures of the day, his lectures attended by thousands, and his writings studied in the salons for which Paris was famed. Yet today, people hardly remember him. And the reason for his diminishment in the annals of history? In a word, Einstein.I have been an admirer of Bergson for many years, and featured his ideas in my book Evolutionaries, but it was only when I recently came across a book by historian of science Jimena Canales that I fully understood why he gets so little love these days. In The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson, and the Debate that Changed Our Understanding of Time, Canales tells the story of a very public clash between the then-respected philosopher and the brilliant young physicist, which culminated in a 1922 debate. The specific topic of their disagreement was the nature of time, but the underlying schism was between two fundamentally different ways of seeing the world. In fact, in some sense it represented the key intellectual fault lines of the twentieth century: between science and the humanities, physics and metaphysics, objective and subjective. In our fascinating conversation, Canales explained to me why the questions Bergson was raising are still so relevant today; how she hopes a new relationship can emerge between the sciences and the humanities; and why—even a hundred years after the infamous debate—taking Bergson seriously is still a risky career move.

¿Están las ciencias y las humanidades condenadas a rivalizar? ¿Ciencia y filosofía deberían caminar de la mano? Son dos grandes cuestiones que nos plantean los avances tecnológicos y científicos del siglo XXI. La respuesta de Jimena Canales, física y doctora en Historia de la ciencia, es clara: “Mientras ciencias y humanidades no avancen conjuntamente, no abordaremos muchos de los problemas que tiene hoy la ciencia, que se deben entender de manera humanística”. Jimena Canales nació en México y se crió en Monterrey, una ciudad plagada de grandes industrias y fábricas. De niña le apasionaban las máquinas y la tecnología, y a través de ellas intentaba comprender el mundo en el que vivimos. “Me interesa la historia de la ciencia porque me da respuestas acerca de cómo vivimos hoy en día, en el mundo digital”, explica. Doctora en Historia de la Ciencia por la Universidad de Harvard, los trabajos de investigación de Jimena Canales se centran en mejorar la comprensión de la ciencia y la tecnología en relación con las artes y las humanidades. Es autora de los libros ‘El físico y el filósofo: Einstein, Bergson y el debate que cambió nuestra comprensión del tiempo’ (2020), ‘Una décima de segundo: una historia’ (2011) y ‘Endemoniados: una historia sombría de los demonios en la ciencia’ (2020).

Science may be known for banishing the demons of superstition from the modern world. Yet just as the demon-haunted world was being exorcized by the enlightening power of reason, a new kind of demon mischievously materialized in the scientific imagination itself. Scientists began to employ hypothetical beings to perform certain roles in thought experiments—experiments that can only be done in the imagination—and these impish assistants helped scientists achieve major breakthroughs that pushed forward the frontiers of science and technology. Spanning four centuries of discovery—from René Descartes, whose demon could hijack sensorial reality, to James Clerk Maxwell, whose molecular-sized demon deftly broke the second law of thermodynamics, to Darwin, Einstein, Feynman, and beyond—Jimena Canales tells a shadow history of science and the demons that bedevil it.  In Bedeviled: A Shadow History of Demons in Science (Princeton UP, 2020), she reveals how the greatest scientific thinkers used demons to explore problems, test the limits of what is possible, and better understand nature. Their imaginary familiars helped unlock the secrets of entropy, heredity, relativity, quantum mechanics, and other scientific wonders—and continue to inspire breakthroughs in the realms of computer science, artificial intelligence, and economics today. The world may no longer be haunted as it once was, but the demons of the scientific imagination are alive and well, continuing to play a vital role in scientists' efforts to explore the unknown and make the impossible real.

Albert Einstein's inability to get a job on graduating has given hope to generations of students. Knowing what we know now about the genius scientist, it's hard to avoid smiling on reading his father's pleas to physics professors to give his son an academic post. Perhaps it was just as well that these attempts failed, as the job Einstein eventually secured gave him the opportunity to daydream. Assessing new inventions at the Swiss capital's patent office, Einstein allowed his imagination to run riot, creating ‘thought experiments' that questioned centuries of knowledge about time, space and motion. In 1905 he published a series of papers that scientists today still use as a reference point. While Einstein himself didn't foresee the technological application of his work, his research has since been used as the basis of modern inventions such as the atomic bomb, lasers, solar panels and GPS. Neither did he realise immediately the potential of his theories to help us understand the beginning of the universe. Rajan Datar explores the complexity of Einstein's theories as well as what made him tick, with expert guests Janna Levin, professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College, Columbia University, USA; science historian Jimena Canales, author of The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson and the Debate that changed our understanding of Time; and Matthew Stanley, professor of the history of science at New York University whose book Einstein's War: How Relativity Conquered Nationalism and Shook the World was published in 2019.

This week we're taking a tentative step into the humanities. We spoke with Jimena Canales, the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in the History of Science at the University of Illinois-UC, about her newest book "The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson and the Debate That Changed Our Understanding of Time" to learn what happened when philosophy was pitted against physics in a historic intellectual battle. And we talked to Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman, the scholarly hosts of the podcast "Witch, Please", about literary analysis and what critical thinking looks like in the world of literature.

La teoría de la relatividad general –que cumple cien años– transformó radicalmente nuestra visión del universo y agudizó el conflicto entre ciencia y humanidades. En el camino, enfrentó a dos pensadores brillantes. Jimena Canales relata los pormenores en “Einstein contra Bergson”.
