How Do Laws of Nature Make Matter Move?
from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute
We assume laws of nature govern the universe, but how exactly do abstract laws make concrete objects move? This talk explores three rival philosophical models and their surprising consequences. Does the past actually produce the future? Can laws exist without affecting anything? The answers challenge our basic intuitions about time, matter, and why nature behaves predictably. Speaker Mario Hubert, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich
