It’s been great to organise this workshop, and I really enjoyed participating and presenting my co-authored work on Newtonian spacetime and simultaneity. Thanks to all the speakers and everyone who attended! #philsci #philsky

Tomorrow (Monday) I'm giving an online talk at the @bhi-harvard.bsky.social with Antonis Antoniou. We'll explore the validity of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) through the lens of limiting reduction, and discuss what MOND can teach us about limiting reduction #philsci
Join us on 04.14.25, at 9:30 am, for guest speakers Antonis Antoniou from the National and Kapodistrian and Lorenzo Lorenzetti from Università della Svizzera Italiana

This morning I had the chance to speak on the Swiss radio (RSI) about free will and what physics has to say about it — a preview of tonight's public lecture in Lugano. I’ll have to tell them the hard truth about free will, and that even quantum physics can’t save us www.usi.ch/en/feeds/31056
