A Philosopher and a Physicist Discuss Probability and the Fine Tuning of the Universe
Episode 207
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
How does philosophy inform modern physics? And how do physicists incorporate philosophy into their research?
On this episode, we dive into those questions with philosopher Dr. Timothy McGrew and astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes in order to help you fine tune your thinking about the fine tuning of the universe.
Critics of the fine-tuning argument will often invoke probabilities in order to get around the argument's deeper implication of the existence of God.
Tim and Luke will explore some of the issues in probability theory as it informs the physics of the fine-tuning argument.
