Week 5-Expert Lecture- Richard Dawkins and the Strangeness of Science
What Dawkins says about the universe holds to be true. That philosophyor sciece will not be able to grasp it becuase we will really neverknow the truth. Science has taught us that everything is compose of anatom, a tiny empty space. Well with that if we are looking at a rockif it is a tiny empty space then we is it so big and hard, that youare unable to penetrate them. So basically he is saying that we aretrying to navigate through these different obstacles. That we live inthe middle world so that is why we are not capable of comprehendingeverything. I like how he talks about Galileo's theory that a heavyobject and a light object will hit the ground at the same time becauseof air friction it doesn't matter and this goes back to Dawkins theorythat we live in middle ground. That in middle world we have changed sowe are able to live here.
