How can science and philosophy be connected?

Every year, New Acropolis Slovenia takes part in Art Kamp, the city’s summer festival, with a physics workshop.

Together with children and adults, we explore the laws of physics and reflect on what they can teach us—how understanding the laws of nature can help us better understand our own lives.

This year, we explored light through a variety of experiments. In one of them, we observed how a lens can focus scattered rays of sunlight into a single point and ignite a flame. This led us to reflect on how much energy and power we can unleash when we gather our scattered forces and focus them on a single goal.
