Drawing on physics and quantum theory, he explores whether modern science can help resolve the apparent contradiction.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe talk follows the logic of the arrow paradox and related analogues, showing how seemingly simple questions can reveal deeper issues in mathematics and physics. It offers an accessible introduction to a classic philosophical problem and its contemporary scientific echoes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIn French.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","start_date":"2026-12-09","end_date":"2026-12-09","date":"Wednesday 9 December, 18:30","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20261209T170000Z","timing_end_date":"20261209T190000Z"}]}
