Authoritarianism and the Science of Time and Space
Description
In many countries, there is a significant difference in the perception of the culture between males and females. This is just one of the reasons why authoritarian movements have a very strong opposition to any sort of differences in sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual orientation—because many of those ideas fly in the face of a cultural value that says that these are very fundamental differences between people.
Welcome to episode eight of Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. Today, I’m talking about the intersection of authoritarianism and the scientific understanding of time, space, and gravity.
Tune in and listen as I explore the nature of time and space and the role of cesium clocks in establishing a precise definition of time.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The map isn't the territory (06:18 )
- Whatever you choose as your clock, they all scale together (10:59 )
- Most of the time, we get to live very well with the illusion that we all experience the same time and space (19:01 )
- Light is found to travel at exactly that one speed (22:53 )
