Guanajuato, Gto., February 17, 2016.- As a sample of the necessary interlocution between the disciplinary fields of science and human studies, Dr. José Luis Lucio Martínez, University of Guanajuato's (UG) Academic Secretary, offered the Magister conference "El todo y las partes" (The all and the parts) of the VI International Colloquium on Complex Thinking.
This colloquium will develop from February 17 to 19 in the Magnus Spaces from Campus Guanajuato, located in Marfil.
The presentation of the Doctor in Physics, Lucio Martínez, addressed two trends of physics: the reductionist vs the holistic, and their impact on our thinking system.
Dr. Lucio Martínez began his dissertation speaking about the contribution from Newton on optics, math to physics and how in this last discipline, helped define its fundamental problems; the nature of space (and objects related to that space) and the time whose interaction has allowed approaching the understanding of that macrostructure that the universe is.
Through the exposition of several philosophers and scientists that have contributed throughout the history of the conception of space and time --Democritus, Descartes, Leibniz, Poincaré, Einstein, especially Newton and Mach--, Dr. Lucio Martínez displayed how the evolution of the physical theory is not, but the development of different ways to understand these concepts, that allow us today to question nature, and whose answers have an empirical value. Besides exemplifying through diverse experiments how we can understand everything that occurs in the universe, even in the most distant limits, they influence locally.
"The universe as a whole influence in the parts", and this is observable both in physics and in an atomic level, subject of quantum mechanics, asserted Dr. Lucio.
With this conference, nurtured by the participation of students and scholar from diverse areas that intervened with their questions and doubts, began the first journey of the VI International Colloquium on Complex Thinking, gathering organized by the Department of Philosophy of the Division of Social Sciences and Human Studies (DCSH) of Campus Guanajuato with the purpose to propitiate the exchange and debate between distinct disciplines.
