Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Sonia Contera. She is a full professor of biological physics at the University of Oxford. And today we're going to talk about her new book, Six Problems that Science Cannot Solve.
In the original Spanish, it's six problems que la sciencia no puede resolver. And Dr. Contero, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one. Thank you.
Thank you for the invitation. It's great to be here. So I mean, we're going to get into the six problems that you go through in the book, but first of all, which criteria did you use to select the six problems you claim science cannot solve? Well, of course, there's endless problems that science cannot solve. But I think I was trying to respond to some of the fundamental questions that physics starts in the 20th century and that we struggle to solve, physics and biology mainly, and computer science.
