Inspired, perhaps, by the spirit of the place, Zamarovský studied physics at Charles University, and he now lectures in philosophy and physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague. He is chairman of the European Cultural Club, which, for over twenty years, has organised public panel discussions on topical issues related to various fields of science, philosophy and art. He is active in the historical section of the Czech Astronomical Society and in the Sisyphus Sceptics Club. Zamarovský has written many scientific and popular papers and three books. He also offers popular lectures on various themes in science and philosophy. He has been invited to participate in numerous radio and TV programs. His favourite saying is Hans Reichenbachs “The path of error is the path of truth.“view less
