St. John’s College Santa Fe (Santa Fe, NM) - The Science Institute

The Science Institute

Drawing on fifty years of experience assisting individuals with contemplating science from unique writings through exchange and hands-on analysis, St. John's College in Santa Fe offers the inaugural sessions of its new Science Institute in the late spring of 2015. Every session is a week-long serious inundation in milestone points and messages, with twice day by day, two-hour workshops, morning and evening, revolved around examination between members. The sessions will be driven by Peter Pesic, Guillermo Bleichmar, and different individuals from the St. John's College staff.

The startling complexity in the middle of Euclid and Lobachevski opens new entryways on the basic ramifications of arithmetic. 

Understanding Relativity: Texts by Albert Einstein 

The second session (July 6–10) will concern Albert Einstein's presentation of the hypothesis of relativity, utilizing his less specialized works yet attempting, through maintained exchange, to convey to light their significant conundrums and suggestions. The two sessions are intended to be autonomous, however we trust the individuals who have perused Euclid and Lobachevski will see significantly more in Einstein's hypothesi
