This course is for any students who are interested in science. It will begin with an overview of all knowledge the students will need to participate in the discussions and follow the lectures that will be the main part of this course. There will be question sessions following each topic covered. Essentially, we will be looking at modern physics and its philosophical implications. Therefore, we will begin with pre-Socratic philosophers and the way they perceived the world. This will bring us to the Pythagoreans and Euclidean geometry, the basis for classical physics. We will then jump ahead to Newton, Des Cartes and the Renaissance. Here we will talk about the historical significance of the period, especially for science. Our last subject will be relativity and quantum theory, which will bring us to the final discussion involving everything we covered throughout the day. I will conclude the lesson with a brief sentiment on the future of science. There will be short breaks throughout, and the emphasis of the course will be on making sure everyone is on the same page.
