The Black Hole Wars

Leonard Susskind - Stanford University

February 02, 2005 PIRSA:05020004 Public Lectures

The strange paradoxes and puzzles of the quantum behaviour of black holes and the things that fall into them led to a spirited battle of ideas between Stephen Hawking, Leonard Susskind and other scientists. Resolving the debate may change our entire understanding of space, time, matter and…

David Lindberg - University of Wisconsin–Madison

January 05, 2005 PIRSA:05010001 Public Lectures

Galileos campaign on behalf of the modern view of the solar system is one of the most dramatic events in the history of relations between Christianity and science endlessly portrayed as a battle between theological interests and scientific freedom. But this traditional story is filled with…
Harnessing the Quantum World

Raymond Laflamme

December 02, 2004 PIRSA:04120002 Public Lectures

Are you ready for this upgrade? The very foundation of computer science is changing. As Moore\'s Law draws to a close, rules of quantum physics are taking over. Learn how leading researchers are using counterintuitive effects, such as superposition, in their quest to build ultra-powerful quantum…
Proofs and Pictures: The Role of Visualization in Mathematical and Scientific Reasoning

James Robert Brown - University of Toronto

November 03, 2004 PIRSA:04110002 Public Lectures

Do you have to see it to believe it? James Robert Brown, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, will discuss the highly interesting but controversial topic of the legitimate role of visual thinking in mathematics and science. Examples of picture proofs and thought experiments will be…
