SUMMARY:How quantum physics democratized music - Professor Sir Michael Ber
 ry (University of Bristol)

DESCRIPTION:Sir Michael Berry\, Emeritus Professor of Physics at the Unive
 rsity of Bristol\, and winner of the infamous Ig Nobel Prize\, gives a tal
 k on the links between physics and the entirety of human culture - see the
  abstract below for more detail.\n\nAdmission is free to CUPS members\, or
  £2 otherwise. As always\, wine and cheese will be served after the talk.
 \n\n(Abstract:) Connections between physics and technological invention an
 d aspects of human life that seem far from science are both unexpected and
  unexpectedly common. And rather than flowing one way - from physics to ga
 dgets - the connections form an intricate web\, linking all aspects of hum
 an culture\, in a way that frustrates our convenient compartmentalisations
  and coarse interventions aimed at promoting technology transfer. I will d
 iscuss this theme not abstractly but with examples\, ranging from music to
  the colour of gold\, and explain how quantum physics helps me do quantum 
 physics (sic).
