The firestarter's guide to curiosity | Mr. Berty Ashley | TEDxThe Pupil International School Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-24 16:48
Core Argument - The presentation emphasizes the pivotal role of curiosity and questioning in driving human evolution, innovation, and societal progress [1][4][8][15][30] - It highlights how pivotal moments and discoveries in history were sparked by individuals questioning the status quo [9][10][11][12][13][14] - The presentation advocates for nurturing a childlike sense of wonder and encouraging continuous inquiry [28][29] Historical Examples - The Great Fire of London in 1666 indirectly contributed to Isaac Newton's development of calculus and Newtonian physics [9][10][11] - The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, leading to severe winters, inspired Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein" and pioneer science fiction [11][12][13] - Roslin Franklin's research on coal and fire led to her discovery of the DNA's double helix structure, revolutionizing biotechnology [14][15] Fostering Curiosity - The presentation encourages unlearning the silence that often develops with age and embracing the freedom to ask questions [28] - It suggests connecting seemingly unrelated concepts to spark new insights and perspectives [28] - It stresses the importance of retaining a sense of wonder and imagination [29][30] Examples of Inquiry - A student's question about the naming of planets reveals that Earth is the only planet not named after a Greek or Roman god [18][19] - A discussion on handedness explores the hypothesis that right-handedness may have evolved due to the need to protect the heart in warfare [19][20][21][22] - A student's question about breathing underwater leads to an explanation of the chemical composition of water (H2O) [23]

Hello everyone. The first time I touched a calculator was at the age of 16. My father, a first generation entrepreneur, taught me that if you have to really work through the world, you have to learn to figure things on your own.My life then became an entire canvas of how I looked at everything with respect to equations, mathematics and numbers. And what I'm going to walk you all through today is the fascinating world of biology that I will try and explain through numbers. We are swimming in an information a ...

How science and theology can help advance truth | Brenton DeBoef | TEDxURI
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-13 14:00
Main Argument - The speaker discusses the feeling of being "doubly lonely" when keeping separate aspects of one's identity, specifically faith and science [1][2][10][18] - The core message is that trust is essential for accepting truths, whether scientific or faith-based [8][17] - The speaker advocates for a personal approach in communicating science, especially to communities of faith, emphasizing respect and relationships over data and degrees [17][18] Supporting Evidence & Logic - The speaker uses the example of DNA's double helix structure, which was understood through data and equations before it could be directly observed, to illustrate belief in unseen scientific truths [3][4][5][6] - The genealogy of Jesus from the Bible is presented as an example of a faith-based truth accepted by millions, even if its accuracy cannot be verified [6][7] - The historical conflict between science and faith, exemplified by Galileo's experience, is mentioned to highlight the existing tensions [8] - The speaker shares a personal experience of creating a video explaining mRNA vaccines in a Christian context, demonstrating an attempt to bridge the gap between science and faith [11][12][13] Implications & Call to Action - The speaker suggests that skepticism towards science in communities of faith is understandable, given the reliance on trust in both domains [16][17] - The speaker encourages individuals who feel "doubly lonely" due to conflicting identities to recognize the value of their unique perspective [18]

Well, in many ways, it is the blueprint that was set in the Boston bombing case where you have this outreach to the public and the dissemination of information. It was striking to me that that was essentially the purpose of the press conference was to get that out there to the public so that anybody with information about um what he looks like um his t-shirt, his cap, his shoes, his backpack, a ...
