Nature may at first seem governed by competition, where only the strongest survive and thrive. However, it also abounds with cooperation, sharing, mutual help, and giving. While focusing on showcasing examples of the fundamentally relational character of Nature, we will also reflect on the link between these two, apparently opposed, aspects of reality. We, the authors of this blog, form an international research group of the Focolare Movement and work in a variety of fields, including astronomy, geology, palaeontology, physics, chemistry, ecology, biology, engineering. We believe that it is more important than ever for various fields of knowledge to dialogue for the good of all humanity.
