Adrian Bejan I Asymptotes, Aristotle & Engines, from Design in Nature

In this lecture, Adrian Bejan explores the concept of fundamentals in science and design and contrasts it with reductionism. Using the Atlanta airport as a case study, he discusses the importance of understanding asymptotes in designing efficient systems. Bejan also emphasizes the interconnectedness of various scientific disciplines through the lens of flows and imperfection, advocating for a holistic understanding of nature and engineering principles.
