according to sci-faith by Josua Göcking

Are we created for a purpose? Where does the scientific evidence lead on this topic?

We consider what Einstein once considered his biggest blunder. Why is it relevant again today?

Is it possible for particles to travel faster than the speed of light in the medium? What effects would this have?

We talk about the concept of cosmic inflation. Why is it necessary and how does it work?

This is a preview of the following four episodes:

We solve the question of how Santa Clause can deliver presents to all children in one night. Might a quantum mechanical description be helpful here?

What is Entropy?

We discuss the state of research in string theory as seen by one of its founders.

We talk about a new article I recently wrote and what it says about quantum mechanics and its interpretations. From that we continue to disuss the paradigm shift brought by quantum mechanics and whether we have already realized all its implications.

This is a preview of the next four episodes:

Can we extract the complete truth from natural laws? We discuss this using an analogy from theology.

Oftentimes we think too small when considering science and faith. What does this mean?

We discuss about what consciousness actually is. Is it mere self reflexion?

We talk about this years Nobel Prize in Physics.

This is a preview of the following four episodes:

According to Thomas Aquinas theology is the queen of science. Is this true?

We answer the question of whether a creator needs to be himself created.

We learn more about an interesting idea to combine gravity and electromagnetism.

We learn about two Greek philosophic disciplines and their scientific worldview.

This is a preview of the four next episodes:

What kind of operating systems are there and how do they distinguish themselves from each other?

There’s a lot happening inside a proton. We learn how it actually looks inside.

We learn what’s behind the problem of P vs. NP in maths.

We learn why proofs are so important in maths and which methods of proof exist.

This is a preview of the four next episodes:

Is there a meaning in life? And if not, why are we always searching for one?

What is random chance? How can we understand it scientifically or in faith?

How can machines learn?

Does science extend to the spiritual?

This is a preview of the next four episodes:

Do we need to be always doubtful as scientists? Is there a difference between skepticism and doubt?

What is the Cosmic Microwave Background and why is it so interesting?

We discuss what emergence is and its significance in science.

We dive deeper into what physical units are and why we need them.

This is a preview of the next four episodes:

We consider the effect of neutrino oscillations and why probably new physics is needed to describe this phenomenon.

We consider whether there are structures beyond the level of particles.

We consider whether this critique is true and what the possible reasons are.

We discuss how the scientific method was developed.

This is a preview of the following four episodes:

How can we explain this effect?

What is the Quark-Gluon-Plasma and why are particle physicists interested in it?

We investigate the theory of Supersymmetry. Why is it so interesting and what is the current state of research?

We learn about the basics of game theory. Can it explain how we get our moral convictions?

Preview of the next four episodes:

We learn about Gravitational Waves. What are they, how have they been discovered and why are they still a active field of research.

We get introduced to the basic fundamentals of String Theory.

We talk about recent developments among some intellectuals.

In light of his recent passing we talk about the legacy of Peter Higgs, especially the mechanism named after him.

Preview of the next four episodes:

What role do the stories we tell each other through the ages play in finding truth?

We discuss how science and philosophy influence each other.

We look into the current proposals for new particle colliders and discuss the current state of fundamental research.

We investigate an interesting correlation between to kinds of theories.

Preview of the next for episodes:

This is a preveiw of the episodes17. Do we live in a Simulation?18. Quantum Gravity: What is the Problem?19. The Physics Behind Oppenheimer20. The Music of the Big BangSlides from 18.: https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/eugene.lim/NewScientistEvent4.key.pdf

We look at a relatively new interpretation of the cosmological findings about our universe.

We look back at who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023 and the physics behind it.

In this episode, we discuss the latest article on the Sci-Faith blog, which also appeared in the Studium Integrale Journal of the Studiengemeinschaft Wort und Wissen.

Finally, with help of AI techniques my book “Sci-Faith - The compatibility of faith and science“ will appear in English.

Does everyone have a god? What about atheists? Do they actually not believe in any god at all?We find interesting answers on this topic from a famous psychoanalyst.Furthermore, we learn what this means and I make a argument for believing in God based on two reasonable statements made in the podcast.A very interesting and helpful episode for believers and non-believers!

Is what expert say always true? Or how can non-experts distinguish wrong from right when dealing with the opinion of experts. To understand this we first need to understand what an expert actually is.

In this episode we discuss the topic which most christian scientists highly focus on: Aplogetics.

When talking about science and faith I have often realized that many have the impression that those are absolutely not compatible. In my book I show that this is not the case and that these fields have more in common than you might think. Furthermore, I do not believe that it is impossible for a scientist to believe. Even atheistic scientists can, as I believe, find God and this even in their scientific knowledge. For this an openness towards faith and a longing to know the truth is needed.

What is a culture? 

At Sci-Faith we regularly talk about how faith is not only true but also fruitful. This fruitfulness of course is a consequence of faith being true. If one assumes this to work also in the opposite direction, faith being fruitful would imply it being true.

'Trust the Science'. This term has been thrown around throughout media especially during this pandemic.

On Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. But is this story a mere myth or historical fact?

What do God's goodness and the consverations laws of physics have in common?

The creation is a reflection of the creator. This is a principle which is of great importance when considering science from a perspective of faith. For example the states matter can exist in can be understood as a reflection on the trinity of God.

One paradox that is often brought up in conversations with atheists is how an almighty god is even possible. Because through his almighty power this god should be able to create a stone so heavy, that he himself cannot lift it. However, such a stone would contradict the omnipotence of such a god.
