Wubbo Ockels

Een interessante TEDx talk van niemand minder dan onze eerste Nederlandse astronaut Wubbo Ockels. In deze presentatie legt hij uit hoe tijd wel eens een uitvinding kan zijn van levende organismen.

 Prof. dr. Wubbo J. Ockels is a Dutch physicist, and also the Netherlands original astronaut. He is a Professor of Aerospace Sustainable Engineering and Technology at the University of Delft, and tries to stimulate a mentality change among Dutch citizens.

In his mind-bending TEDxAmsterdam talk, Ockels explains how time is created by human beings, as a way our brains can make sense of gravity. The speed of light is constant, because it is made by us: its the clock by which we have calibrated our existence. Based on this premise, Ockels proposes a new way to explore life in our galaxy.
