The Pointless Universe

- đ Date & Time: Monday 19 November 2012, 20:00 - 21:00
- đ Venue: Plant Sciences Lecture Theatre, Downing Site
Abstract
Modern physics raises questions concerning phenomena on widely different distance scales, ranging from the evolution of the whole Universe to microscopic properties of sub-nuclear particles. The talk will present a historical survey of the evolution of theoretical approaches to understanding such problems. This will lead to a description of recent ideas emerging out of String Theory that have the potential for unifying areas of physics that have previously appeared to be only remotely connected.
Talk is free for members, and ÂŖ2 for non-members.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge University Physics Society series.
