It means constant digging, analyzing, filtering out everything irrelevant, looking with a cool, dispassionate eye. I talk with Dr. Maciej Mulak from @Wrocław University of Technology about the usefulness of this kind of thinking, whether anyone can think like a physicist, and whether there are any unquestionable foundations in physics. The scientist is the creator of the channel @Fizykabezzamulania_PWr, which I heartily recommend to both advanced and less advanced learners – it's physics presented with a light touch and flair! The scenarios are created in collaboration with Lucyna Róg. "The foundation is that the world is described mathematically," points out Dr. Mulak. Physicists use mathematics to describe the phenomena around us, hence various anecdotes, for example, about scientists perceiving cows as spherical objects. In some cases, such a model of a cow is completely sufficient. Dr. Mulak likes to emphasize that physicists are the modelers of the world. Thanks to their proficient knowledge of mathematics, physicists can predict countless things, even very distant ones: it's possible to calculate that pickled cucumbers in a larger barrel will be tastier than those in a smaller container, and the brilliant Fermi quite accurately estimated the power of an atomic bomb based on the behavior of notes he scattered on the ground while observing the Manhattan Project explosion from afar. And what if you're not Fermi, de Broglie, Heissenberg, Einstein, or Schrödinger—is it possible to develop the mindset of a physicist? "I think so, but it will require correspondingly more work if we're starting from a lower position. But we will be guided by the powerful force of curiosity and the desire to understand," Dr. Mulak replies. Navigating freely in the world of physical equations requires years of study and practice, but the basics are accessible to everyone, and a trained brain can do more and more. It's good to develop the foundations as early as possible, so we appeal to parents: don't stifle your children's curiosity, don't dismiss their questions about the world: this is the very foundation on which it will be easier for them to build a palace of knowledge later. "It's even worth surfing this surface," says Dr. Mulak, pointing out that you can (and should!) be interested in physics even if you don't know mathematics. Interdisciplinary discussion of science allows you to discover new fields somewhere on its edges. This is a delicious, erudite episode full of anecdotes about great physicists (did you know there might be a connection between throwing plates in the cafeteria and the Nobel Prize in quantum electrodynamics?), enthusiasm, and the pure joy of engaging with science. These are values ​​that are incredibly close to Radio Naukowe, and I'm very glad this conversation took place. Enjoy it, too! In the conversation, I promised a link to the interview with Rev. Prof. Michał Heller. Here it is :)    • Ciekawość – cnota czy grzech? | prof. Bart...   This episode was created as part of our trip to Wrocław; more episodes are coming soon!
