Join the Rotman Institute and Department of Philosophy for their annual public lecture series, co-sponsored with the London Public Library, on Thursdays in October.
This year’s theme: how do we experience and measure time or form memories of the past?
In the 2nd talk, Robert DiSalle will discuss time & space -- intuitively distinct, yet modern physics treats them as inseparable parts of a single entity, “space-time.” This distinction has influenced our scientific understanding. Where do our intuitions come from & can they be reconciled with physics?
In upcoming talks, learn about art's impact on cultural memory & the capacity of human memory.
