    Faith and Philosophy, Part 3: God's Existence

    Episode Topic: God's Existence Many philosophers - and even theologians - believe that Immanuel Kant put an end to all attempts to prove God's existence. However, is the case truly closed? Dr. Sebastian Ostritsch, from Heidelberg University, argues that Kant's objections against proving God's existence have no decisive weight against the foundational logic of Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways. Even after Kant, he will contend, it remains possible to demonstrate that God exists.   Featured Speakers: Dr. Sebastian Ostritsch, Heidelberg University Read this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: https://go.nd.edu/cb12e5.

    Our Universe Revealed, Part 7: Eclipses in Outer Space

    Episode Topic: Eclipses in Outer Space Lauren Weiss Ph.D., assistant professor of physics and astronomy, will explore how astrophysicists use eclipses of other stars to find new planets. Professor Weiss uses observational techniques to discover exoplanets, which are planets around other stars, and characterize their fundamental properties. Her goals are to understand the origin and evolution of planetary systems and assess whether some exoplanets could be habitable. One way to find planets around other stars in the universe is the eclipse transit method. It works for star-planet systems aligned in a way that, as seen from earth, the planet travels between us and the star, temporarily blocking some of the light from the star once every orbit.
