Let's Talk Tattva: A Philosophy Discussion Forum

by Goutam M. 16 January 2022

Abstract: In this presentation I (Goutam) will talk about the What, How, When, and Why of Philosophy and Physics, especially in the sense of historical relationship, metamorphosed influence, and relevance in the 21st century between the two disciplines. The presentation will also contain the details on the HARD problems in both the disciplines at best. Much discussion among the attendees is encouraged at the end of the presentation. Do feel free to express your thoughts – if there is any pressing case (which is related to the topics discussed in this presentation) which you may consider as not being discussed in the presentation.
