This chapter discusses the historical term of natural philosophy and its connection to modern physics. It explores the idea that as philosophy progresses, it often becomes separated into different fields, such as physics, leading to the loss of interdisciplinary ideas and questions. The chapter also delves into current physics questions and the difference between studying the process of science and studying nature.
Why is the past different from the future? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore the universe’s deepest questions like why is there anything, what is the present, and if there could be a unified theory of physics with theoretical physicist Sean Carroll.
