Patterns that Explain the Universe - unlocking the secrets of existence

Next in the COSMOS series

Thursday 7 October 2021 | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT | On-demand  ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO! Our understanding of the world around us is based on patterns - without them we would have to learn afresh every time we interacted with anything and there could be no science. A number of key patterns have had pivotal roles in unlocking the secrets of existence.  In this talk, Brian Clegg will explore five of these essentials: the cosmic microwave background, Feynman diagrams, the periodic table, number lines and the DNA double helix. From the origins of the universe to the mysteries of quantum physics, from the structure behind every chemical reaction to the foundations of mathematics and the practicalities of life, these patterns have shaped reality.  FIND OUT MORE & REGISTER SAVE 25% ON A COSMOS SERIES TICKET Also in the COSMO series Listening to the Universe with Gravitational Waves with Lisa Barsotti 14 October 2021 | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT The First Stars with Emma Chapman Available on-demand   The Dark Matters with Chamkaur Ghag Available on-demand  FIND OUT MORE & REGISTER Included in all online lecture tickets.....

The wear on the body, the opacity of the wood and the type of varnish used, for example, can all hint at its origin. In recent decades, a technique called dendrochronology, which dates an instrument using the tree rings on its body, has gained popularity. This process can provide an additional way to identify if a violin might have been built by one of the famed 16th- or 17th-century luthiers in Cremona, Italy, such as Antonio Stradivari, or if it was built more recently and therefore probably worth significantly less money. "Dendrochronology is a really important and kind of revolutionary technology," said Kevin Kelly, a violin-maker in Boston, Massachusetts... Read more Copyright 2021 American Institute of Physics.
