 live webcast of the lecture- Professor Leon Lederman, Nobel Laureate Wednesday 22nd of September at 7 pm. in the Burke Theatre, Trinity College Dublin Scientists have a genetic compulsion to find beauty and simplicity the workings of nature. I will describe the wonders of two seemingly complex and separate disciplines: particle physics and cosmology. Both are obsessed with only one question: "How does the world work?" There are deep, elegant, but still incomplete connections between these--but as Einstein instructed us: "Theories should be as simple as possible, but no simpler." |

Jump To Comment: 1 2webcast over
he talked for 1 hour
questions from the floor for half hour
they now strongly reckon that the universe, in its present state, is 13.7 billion years old
the webcast was hard to watch, v small screen, perhaps something to do with this computer
but 1 fault was he used an overhead screen for images and slides, but we had no picture of this
my first viewed webcast
Yeah , was at the lecture. He seems to have a good mix of comedy and physics!!! Bit of difficulty with the final question regarding the accordion thing!
