Il tempo di quel che c'è | Francesca Vidotto | TEDxUdine

Francesca Vidotto ci accompagna all'interno del suo mondo per capire il tempo e spiega che, prima di tutto, dobbiamo capire il presente. Dobbiamo capire quali cose possiamo dire che esistono ora, quali cose possiamo dire che esistono simultaneamente, allo stesso tempo.
Questa linea senza spessore, questo bordo che è il presente, ci sembra un concetto primitivo e semplice da capire. Ma le cose non stanno così!
To know time, ask what exists. Francesca Vidotto takes us inside her world to understand the time and she explains that, first of all, we must understand the present. We need to understand what things we can say that exists now, which things we can say that exist simultaneously, at the same time.
This line without thickness , this edge that is the present, seems a basic and simple concept to understand. But that's not exactly how it is!

In her research she studies the quantum properties of space and time. She studied in Padua and Pavia, She worked in France, in Marseille and Grenoble, and since 2012 she is at Radboud University in the Netherlands for a research project on the first moments of the universe. Recently she got interested in blacks holes, and how one could observe their possible explosion. She combines my scientific research with a reflection on the philosophical foundations of physics. She has co-authored with Carlo Rovelli of a textbook on quantum gravity, and several publications in international journals. Have always been active on gender issues in academia, she participates in national and international networks for women in science. She likes to think that a more inclusive science is also better science.
