Time: Friday October 13, 14h-16h Place: *room * *D.1.07*, building D, VUB ------------------------------ Are we cosmically (in)significant? Clement Vidal <http://www.clemvidal.com/> Abstract: The relationship between humanity and the cosmos is one of the most fundamental questions of philosophy. How can we find a meaning to life if the second law of thermodynamics says that everything is doomed to oblivion? How can we understand the big history of our universe, and use this understanding to envision a big future? Could other intelligent civilizations in the galaxy already be on a path towards such a big future? In this short presentation, we attempt to touch upon these most fascinating questions. ------------------------------ Upcoming Seminars *October 20th* Li Xiubo The practical reasoning of complex engineering systems design *October 27th* Katarina Petrovic TBA *November 3rd* Petter Tornberg The social complexity of digital data See also the ECCO/GBI calendar <https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=azMyN252aWluM2JoMnU3MXY5OGt2ZzliOGdAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ> .
