  Interview of Gregor Nickel by Jens Degett (Video)

               Themes debated during the interview with their initial time marks

               Time

               Marks                                                                   Themes

               00:00    Mathematics is not a neutral tool or language for understanding science or society.

               05:01    The fundament of mathematics is not as certain as we may think it is.

               13:44    Understanding mathematics gives you freedom but at a high price.

               16:18    Just as biologists cannot define life, the foundation of mathematics can also be challenged.

               19:50    The relation between mathematics and reason.

               22:26    Could a change in our understanding of mathematics change society? 

               24:54    Can mathematics tell us something about how reason works?

               27:05    You need philosophy to understand mathematics better.

               28:06    The historic progress in science and mathematics should also be reflected in philosophy.

             Themes debated during the interview with their initial time marks  

               Time

               Marks                                                                   Themes

               00:06    The relation of body and mind.

               04:35    When the heartbeat was discovered few doctors would believe it.

               06:32    Can objects be physical correlated without signals?

               09:00    Non local correlation in quantum physics may explain events in our environment.

               13:11    Experiences in psychology may give some examples of non local correlation.

               18:02    A new scientific method needed in order to prove entanglement?

               20:20    Is a new ontology needed to describe entanglement and mental reality?

               22:08    Can an experiment show entanglement or can phenomenology show us reality?

               24:16    The role of reason in understanding.

               25:15    What are the expectations of a shift of paradigm?

               27:12    A reproducible scientific experiment is needed.
