Relativity and the universe

9 Feb 2015

Andrew Green talks about the theory of relativity, cosmology and the structure of the universe in part 3 of our Grand Tour of Science.

The Grand Tour of Science is a comprehensive account of modern science in seven two-hour lectures for the public. The lectures are in two parts, with drinks and discussion before, in between and after.

This lecture covers:

• Non-integer dimensions and scale invariance

• Riemannian geometry

• Groups and crystals

• Aperiodicity and Gödel incompleteness

• Turing machines and non-computability
