My program of study is “The Philosophy of Physics.” In the evolving world of scientific discovery and theoretical exploration, the intersection of physics and philosophy has been an increasingly growing field, and multiple universities in the US and around the world have been adding it to their schools. Furthermore, the Journal of the Philosophy of Physics was founded last year, and each year more undergraduate institutions and now even some graduate institutions are offering degrees in the philosophy of physics as a program.
My program aims to bridge the gap between these two disciplines in a way that neither a major in physics nor a minor or second major in philosophy can fully achieve, with hopes that this could be a blueprint for the physics and philosophy departments at UT to join forces and offer a program in the Philosophy of Physics that many schools around the country are offering.
