In Brian Greene’s Elegant Universe the video states, "if a theory cannot be tested then it is philosophy". This quote shows how physics and philosophy work well with one another. Without the questioning of how many things came to be, the world would be made of many philosophers but because of the hard working, award winning scientists like Albert Einstein, Wener, etc.. the world gets factual information of matter and atoms. The knowelge behind the research supports these philosophical theories to a certain point. Life is made of matter and questions. The difference between philosophy and physics is proof. With proof we learn how we are the way we are. Not only us a humans but we get a better understanding of our surroundings like the ocean, space and everyday living. Through the videos and readings the class is taught the importance of matter and how it affects each one of us.
Eliminative Materialism is the long change with time that keeps the human up to date with body, mind and society. This is a way to see how the earth and other things around have evolved through time and throught. Examples of these changes are the belief of Thor the Thunder God, and replacing him with facts of electrical magnetic currents. A second example is the thought that spirits cause diseases yet proof of bacteria and viruses is the main reason for such illnesses to a body. Another example would be the explanation that ghosts circulate throughout the human body pulling but in reality antamity has proven the growth of the nervous system and musculsketal system inside a human body. These are just simple examples that once were philosophical theories and have been altered to a fact with research and study. This shows how important philosophy is to the world of science to ask and prove.
