Neil Turok Public Lecture - The Astonishing Simplicity of Everything

Explore the remarkable simplicity underlying nature in this public lecture by Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok. Delve into how simplicity at the largest and tiniest scales of the universe points toward new avenues of physics research and potential revolutionary advances in technology. Journey through topics such as the Planck Satellite, symmetry, synchronicity, and waves, while examining the historical development of mathematics from Pythagoras to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Discover how nature works through waves, including the sun's thermal equilibrium and Planck's Law, and unravel the dual nature of light as both particle and wave. Gain insights into the concept of possibility waves and probability prediction in quantum mechanics, all presented in an engaging and accessible manner for a general audience.
