Feynman’s Cataclysm Question

June 30, 2024 at 10:15 am with Rev. Sally Fritsche 

In 1961, physicist Richard Feynman asked a group of undergraduate students: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” 


Join us this Sunday to reflect on this question in a few variations. Rev. Sally will lead us in considering our own individual and communal “cataclysm sentences”, and reflecting on what our various answers might say about us, our beliefs, and what we most value.
