Who is your favorite Scientist, and who is your favorite philosopher? Y favorite Scientist is Nikola Tesla and my favorite philosopher is Socrates.

Kant and Eisenstein

Scientist: Don't have a favorite but I enjoy listening to many
Philosopher: People sitting around a firepit or campfire at night

Galileo and Yeshua

It’s difficult to select out of each category. But I liked the question. In fact, yours was the only genuine question that a good conversation can be started with. The other topics under Science and Philosophy were misleading. Philosopher-Aristotle and Socrates for pedagogy reasons. Scientist Michigan Kanu and Neal deGrasse Tyson for starters!

Roger Penrose and Lao Zi.

I can't really name philosophers. I don't follow any and I usually don't read many except when others quote them.
My favorite philosopher is me.
I tend to favor reason based on real-world physics and observations of people I have met or learned about.

My favorite science is physics with cosmology a close second.

My philosophies change as I learn things in life.

There are some very dynamic speakers in the sciences.
Their goal is to inspire an interest in the masses.
I've learned not to glorify them.

On the scale of the Universe/reality the human species understands very little.
All our science and philosophy merely encompasses the last 5,000 years at best.
There is just so much we don't understand about reality.
We haven't been around long enough.
We don't even understand our own minds.
We are still ruled by primitive fears and rewards.
Our capacity for understanding, while growing, is still infantile.
We got a long way to go baby.

Hey Dude,
You seem reasonably intelligent judging from your posts, and this question relates to your interest in cosmology and physics: If the MWI of the non-local nature of quantum entanglement is true, what are the implications for the nature of reality, the perception/reality of time, good and evil, etc...are we all just continually lurching from one universe to another through our own volition or the unknown and unforeseen consequences of some other far off wave function collapse?

In Cosmology and Physics the difficulty lies not in making a hypothesis but in testing it.
