Title: Weaving the Cosmos with Strings!
Speaker: Ali Nayeri
Abstract: In Persian, whenever you want to connect different subjects which look very disconnected and remote, we say one is weaving the cosmos
(heaven) with strings. In this talk, I will play the role of that person by trying to show the manifestation of laws of nature (physics) in our society and history (human sciences). Through out of my talk, I compare our historical achievements in science and philosophy with those in the west. I will finish my talk with the prospects of future based on our past lessons and current situation. This is talk which can be alternatively titled as "From the nature to the human behavior and vise versa".
