Explore the boundaries of chaos and determinism in the cosmos with Mark Neyrinck, an Ikerbasque Fellow from the Basque Country, Spain. Delve into topics such as cosmic randomness, cosmology, the separate universe approximation, and the adhesion model. Examine the role of computability, non-dark matter, and chaos in galaxies. Investigate concepts like spontaneous stochasticity, turbulence, and indeterminism. Consider the empirical approach to understanding the universe, the nature of black holes, and the information contained in cities. This comprehensive talk covers a wide range of fascinating subjects, from the pandemic's impact on scientific thinking to the intricate workings of galactic systems.
