First Principles is a curated collection of long-form conversations with the great scientific minds of history, grounded in first principles and rigorous reasoning. Each dialogue explores how foundational scientific ideas were formed — how laws were inferred from observation, how models were tested against reality, and how uncertainty, intuition, and discipline shaped discovery. Rather than summarizing achievements, the magazine focuses on thinking itself: the assumptions, conceptual choices, and ethical responsibilities behind scientific work. These conversations remain faithful to the intellectual context of each figure’s time, while carefully extending ideas toward modern questions through logical extrapolation, not hindsight. The goal is not to modernize historical scientists
