TOPIC: Seven Candles: Science for a Deeper Spirituality

JD Stillwater is a science educator, writer, and musician. Seven Candles springs from his love of science and his tendency to care more about implications than conventions. What he brings to the global conversation is a gift for making difficult science concepts graspable for non-scientists, but then to take us further into the deeper mysteries that those concepts engender.

Seven Candles: Science for a Deeper Spirituality is a one-hour multi- media talk, similar to a TEDTM talk. Seven Candles is a tour of seven “revelations” from science, drawn from well-established scientific knowledge. They bring profound implications for spirituality, including a clearer understanding of the universe, with all its ambiguity and mystery, and our fundamental connections within it and to it.

Seven Candles emphasizes the role science can play in deepening a spiritual path, regardless of personal theology. Science doesn’t offer new beliefs, but rather new eyes. In short, Seven Candles employs science in the service of awe, reverence, wonder, mystery, and oneness.

Seven Candles:
1: Scale - Cosmology; vastness in space, time, quantity, potential, and mystery.
2: Flow - Relativity; Classical relativity as applied to cosmology
3: Stardust - Cosmic evolution of matter
4: No-thing - Atoms, from Bohr to QM
5: Evolution - Basics and implications
6: Emergence - the origin conditions for complexity
7: One - The science of inter-connections
