Subjects

Any subject originating within the field of science or archaeology is open for discussion at the Forum; but we especially encourage debate about topics that have broader implications.

Some subjects may originate within a particular discipline, e.g.

• Cosmology:
  Can a single equation be used to formulate a 'Theory of Everything'?

• Palaeoanthropology:
  What caused the 'Human Revolution'?

• Egyptology:
  Is chronological revision needed within the Egyptian Third Intermediate Period?

Other subjects may originate at the interface with a broader aspect of society, e.g.

• Science & philosophy:
  What are the limits of science in obtaining knowledge?

• Science & ethics:
  Should human embryos be sacrificed to advance medical science?

• Science & the environment:
  Do sunspots contribute significantly to global warming?
