How do we distinguish between what is right and what is wrong? Why science is more reliable than other means? And does the importance of science lie only in its theories? We will go beyond scientific theories, and deduce the way of scientific thinking called the scientific method, and learn that the importance of science lies in its approach, not only theories themselves. Raed will explain the radical transformation generated by the scientific method in a person's way of thinking and philosophy in life, and show the seriousness of ignorance of the scientific method and scientific thinking on our societies. Raed Mostafa Shaiia, 34 years old, Born in Suwayda, Syria. Studied Physics at the University of Damascus. He self-studied theoretical physics as well, mainly from Cambridge, Oxford and Stanford curriculums. Founded the scientific agnostics society, which was pioneer in introducing people to the scientific method, critical thinking and logic, in addition to exposing pseudoscience. Co-founder of Advanced Sciences center, which teaches very advanced Physics and Mathematics through curriculums written by Raed, and based on most important scientific references. He has published and translated many scientific articles in several magazines. He is also a blogger in the scientific agnostics blog. Published a research paper on the measurement problem in the US journal "International Journal of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics". He was invited by the Professor Giulio Chiribella (one of the most important names in the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and quantum computing in the world) to participate in a workshop in Hong Kong, aimed at solving some of the mysteries about the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Raed works on many topics in Physics, such as quantum mechanics in curved space-time. He gives a lot of lectures about scientific method, logic and exposing pseudoscience.
