Topic: relativity

Tom Crawford explores how mathematical models turn questions about the world into equations that can be investigated. Examples range from relativity and infectious-disease modelling to his research on the spread of pollution in the ocean. The lecture also applies modelling to video games, sport and partner selection, illustrating how the same mathematical tools can clarify problems across very different settings.

Øyvind Grøn continues the discussion of Einstein, covering the consequences of relativity and his other contributions to physics. Second conversation in Norwegian.
