Explore the cutting-edge theories of modern physics in this captivating 54-minute lecture by renowned physicist Hirosi Ooguri. Delve into the fascinating world of superstring theory and the concept of nine-dimensional space as Ooguri takes you on a journey through the history of the universe, from the Big Bang to the present day. Learn about cosmic inflation, gravitational waves, and the quest for a Theory of Everything. Discover how mathematics plays a crucial role in understanding the fundamental laws of nature and the structure of extra dimensions. Gain insights into the latest developments in theoretical physics, including the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO and the implications of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Join the audience at the J. N. Planetarium in Bangalore for this thought-provoking talk that bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and popular understanding.
