How Physics Connects Our Universe
21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS
Description
Modern physics distils the vast richness and diversity of our universe into very few theories. Unfortunately, these theories can be staggeringly complicated, and can hold us back from answering the biggest questions facing our existence, including the origin of the universe itself.
Join theoretical physicist Chris White as he introduces the “double copy” - a remarkable new correspondence that tells us that these theories may be much more closely related than previously thought. The double copy theory marks a profound new relationship between particle physics theories and gravity, giving us new practical tools as well as tantalising hints of a vast common structure or language underlying everything we know. Discover the history of the double copy, what it could teach us, and what might come next.
