Renewal of Science
When we tend to focus on creating an impact on the world, it is fashionable nowadays to think solely in terms of technology. But technology is only the final fruit of a scientific process that begins at the root, and has to be transformed if we are really serious about making the impact. The innovators in science are getting harder to come by: How many of us can name a scientist from the last 40 years who has had the kind of impact Faraday or Tesla more than a century ago? There are also an increasing number of issues at the basis of astronomy, electromagnetism, color science, and evolution, all of which need to be addressed to break through the logjam currently affecting science. We will discuss how to create true innovators, and also recognize real innovations, with the help of a Global Conference addressing all branches of science under one theme: Renewal of Science.

The Origins of Natural Science
9 lectures, Dornach, December 24, 1922 – January 6, 1923 (CW 326)
These talks outline the subtle changes in our ideas and feelings in relation to the development of natural science. Through this, Steiner shows the significance of scientific research and the mode of thinking that goes with it. As we look at what technology has brought us, we may have a feeling like the pain we feel over the death of a loved one. According to Steiner, this feeling of loss will eventually become our most important stimulation to seek the spirit.

The Schiller File
Supplements to the Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner: Scientific Research Suggested by Dr. Rudolf Steiner
Drawn from Schiller’s notebooks, this important volume describes natural scientific research by scientists working at the Goetheanum and following suggestions from Rudolf Steiner, leading, for example, to research on gases at low temperatures and high vacuum. Steiner told them, “You will tend to produce conditions at the Sun’s center, where matter is annihilated and exists in a negative state; similarly with space. Spectrum analysis was used in these experiments, but for ‘true’ results, the spectroscope would need to be modified.” On electricity, Steiner told them,” We do not know electricity, except by its effects…. In origin, it is an astral force.”
