It means constant digging, analyzing, filtering out everything that is irrelevant, looking with a cool eye, without emotion. About what such thinking is useful for, whether everyone can think like a physicist and whether there are any indisputable foundations in physics, I talk with Dr. Maciej Mulak from @politechnika Wrocławska. The scientist is the author of the channel @Fizykabezzamulania_PWr which I heartily recommend to those less and more advanced - it is physics presented lightly and with flair! The scenarios are created in cooperation with Lucyna Róg. - The foundation is that the world is described mathematically - indicates Dr. Mulak. Physicists use mathematics to describe the phenomena surrounding us, hence various anecdotes, e.g. about scientists perceiving cows as spherical objects. In some cases, such a model of a cow is completely sufficient. Dr. Mulak likes to emphasize that physicists are modelers of the world. Thanks to their fluent knowledge of mathematics, physicists can predict a lot of things, even very distant ones: it is possible to calculate that pickled cucumbers in a larger barrel will be tastier than those in a small container, and the brilliant Fermi quite accurately estimated the power of an atomic bomb based on the behavior of notes that he scattered on the ground while observing the explosion of the Manhattan Project from a distance. And what if you are not Fermi, de Broglie, Heissenberg, Einstein, Schrödinger - is it possible to develop thinking like a physicist? - I think so, but it will require correspondingly more work if we start from a lower position. But we will be guided by the powerful force of curiosity, the desire to understand - replies Dr. Mulak. Moving freely in the world of physical equations requires years of study and practice, but the basics are available to everyone, and a trained brain can do more and more. It is good to develop the basics as early as possible, so together we appeal to parents: do not quench children's curiosity, do not dismiss their questions about the world: this is the foundation on which it will be easier for them to build a palace of knowledge later. – It is even worth surfing this surface – says Dr. Mulak, pointing out that you can (and should!) be interested in physics even if you don't know mathematics. Interdisciplinary talk about science allows you to discover new fields somewhere on its edges. This is a delicious, erudite episode full of anecdotes about great physicists (did you know that there may be a connection between throwing plates in the cafeteria and the Nobel Prize in quantum electrodynamics?), enthusiasm and pure joy of communing with science. These are values ​​​​extremely close to Radio Naukowe and I am very glad that this conversation took place. Enjoy it, too! In the conversation, I promised a link to the conversation with Rev. Prof. Michał Heller. Here it is :) • Curiosity – virtue or sin? Prof.... The episode was created as part of our trip to Wrocław, the next episodes are coming soon!
