Theory of Knowledge: Natural Sciences

During the ToK Conference of the 5th and 6th February, held at the British International School’s World Theatre venue, the discussions ranged from Einstein’s law of relativity to the more advanced and complex quantum mechanics (e.g. quantum tunneling, and the double slit experiment), with this event concerning the different areas of Physics (in general), being linked with ToK, i had obtained quite a few unique experiences which may be classified as once in a life time. Some of the different things that i had enjoyed or disliked within the event, and things which although I didnt understand yet intrigued me, will be talked about below.
Some of the things which I had liked within the ToK event were the carefree atmosphere that was brought along with the guest speeker Andy Fletcher, not only was the carefree atmosphere to be enjoyed/liked, i also had enjoyed the different topics which were able to catch the intrigue of my mind. However much like there are positives there are also things that I hadnt enjoyed within the ToK conference, these were such things such as the lengths of the lectures, and the uncomfortability of the chairs at the venue, this maybe caused by my possibly large body which had caused my legs to feel like they were cramped, and that there was no space to move my legs around in.
However, although there were such things such as uncomfortable chairs, and at times lectures which would put you too sleep, the mind boggling yet intriguing topics which had caught my mind included such things such as quantum mechanics, Einstein’s law of relativity, and the possibility of science for once actually proving that there is a possibility of a supernatural being that is responsible for the creation of this universe. This is caused by the incredibly small chance of the universe having all the different factors which are required in order for such a universe to hold life. Whilst on top of the possibility of science actually proving the possible existence of a supernatural being, there were intriguing facts such as the possiblity for teleportation made possible due to quantum tunneling
Overall, the ToK conference event was a fun-filled, and educational trip, which could possibly have once-in-a-lifetime, unique experiences.
