Internet talk-show with the explorers of the third millennium

October 24th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

Milano, MI 20123, Italy

The event, promoted in collaboration with the city of Milan, is an initiative from Scienceonthenet, Gruppo 2003 and Caffè-Scienza Milano, aimed to pay omage to physics and its extraordinary conquests in the last years: from the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva to the photography of the primordial Universe, taken by the Planck space probe.

Both these international projects involved many Italian researchers, including several from Milan. One more reason to meet some of the protagonists of these studies. They will discuss how scientific exploration are redefining the idea of the Universe where we are living; they will talk about the age of the Cosmos, the Big Bang, the dark matter; they will explain the functioning of those big "machines" that are the international research projects nowadays; they will tell how is a researcher's life.

Why science cannot prove the existence of God

di Hykel Hosni

di Angelo Vulpiani

Pubblicato il 04/10/2024

The demonstration of God's existence on scientific and mathematical grounds is a topic that, after captivating thinkers like Anselm and Gödel, reappears in the recent book by Bolloré and Bonnassies. However, the book makes a completely inadequate use of science and falls into the logical error common to all arguments in support of so-called "intelligent design."

The demonstration of God's existence on rational grounds is a subject tackled by intellectual giants, from Anselm of Canterbury to Gödel, including Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. However, as is well known, these arguments are not conclusive. It is not surprising, then, that this old problem, evidently poorly posed, periodically resurfaces.
