The History of Philosophy of Physics
Suman: I was an undergraduate major in physics and applied math, which I go with. My honours thesis actually was in the history of philosophy of physics down in the physics department, death. So some of the early interests were actually, which we share, a lot of the interest in the book in practice and epistemology and on-pology and so on comes from. But yeah, it's a urelier comment, right? Suman: It seems ludicrous now, this would have been nine and six years ago but that is how my life turned out. Thank you.
