In this talk, physicist Bill Dixon leaves the realms of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to explore a very different frontier: the evolution of intelligence. From wriggling worms and slave-making ants - to bears, chimpanzees and the extraordinary complexity of human culture - nature reveals a remarkable spectrum of behavior. How did it arise? How is it shaped by Darwinian evolution? More intriguing is the question of evolution beyond ourselves and where that might take us. Could intelligence evolve into something greater than our own: in machines - future forms of humanity - or elsewhere in the universe? Join Bill Dixon, one of Madrid’s best-known educators, for a stimulating journey through evolution, intelligence and the possibilities that lie ahead. There may be more questions than answers, but that’s where the fun begins… Monday, 16th November at 7:00pm Instituto Internacional España (IIE) C. de Miguel Ángel, 8, Chamberí, 28010 Madrid About Bill Bill Dixon is an educator with over two decades of experience. He holds a BA in Natural Sciences from Pembroke College, Cambridge, with a focus on physics and electrical sciences, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from King’s College London. As a lecturer, Bill is particularly known for making topics accessible without diluting its intellectual depth. He brings to his lectures a rare combination of classical training, interdisciplinary perspective, and long-form teaching experience, making him a compelling guide to explore this topic.
