Secrets of the Universe – Hiding in Plain Sight?
Neil Turok - University of Edinburgh
How did the universe begin? How did it evolve to what we see now? There was a time when few people believed such questions could even be posed in scientific terms. Now, as increasingly precise instruments deliver their treasure trove of data, the answers may be within reach. On Wednesday, October 25… -
The Meaning of Spacetime - Public Lecture
Juan Maldacena - Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) - School of Natural Sciences (SNS)
Juan Maldacena studies black holes, string theory, and quantum field theory. In his July 27 Perimeter Public Lecture webcast, he will describe some ideas that arose from the study of quantum aspects of black holes. They involve an interesting connection between the basic description of quantum… -
An Enlightening Evening of Dark Matter
Katherine Mack - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics , Ken Clark - Queen's University
Take a guided tour of the invisible universe on Dark Matter Night. In a hybrid event (in-person and live webcast) on October 26, dark matter researchers Katie Mack and Ken Clark will share insights into the ubiquitous, mysterious matter that makes up the majority of stuff in our universe. Dark… -
Secrets of the Universe
Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez - University of California, Davis
In the 3D giant-screen documentary Secrets of the Universe, physicist Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez travels the globe to epicentres of cutting-edge science – from CERN in Switzerland to Perimeter Institute. On Wednesday, November 3, he returns to Perimeter (virtually, at least) for a special… -
A New View of the Universe from the Earth’s South Pole
Naoko Kurahashi Neilson - Drexel University
The universe has been studied using light since the dawn of astronomy. But deep down in the dark glacial ice of the South Pole, Antarctica, a very different kind of telescope is getting a new view of the universe. Operated by a team of more than 300 physicists from 12 countries, the IceCube Neutrino… -
A Solution to the Stable Marriage Problem
Emily Riehl - Johns Hopkins University
In her Perimeter Institute public lecture, premiering May 12, mathematician Emily Riehl will invite viewers to consider what might be called the “matchmaker’s dilemma.” Imagine a matchmaker who wishes to arrange opposite-sex marriages in a dating pool of single men and single women (there’s a… -
Morphogenesis: Geometry, Physics, and Biology
In his May 5 Perimeter Public Lecture webcast, Harvard professor L. Mahadevan will take viewers on a journey into the mathematical, physical, and biological workings of morphogenesis to demonstrate how scientists are beginning to unlock many of the secrets that have vexed scientists since Darwin. -
Mapping the Universe with eBOSS
Will Percival - University of Waterloo
In his Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on April 7, 2021, cosmologist Will Percival will aim to help the audience grasp the enormity of space using the latest results from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), which created the largest three-dimensional map of the universe… -
The Invisible Universe
Priyamvada Natarajan - Yale University
In her live Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on March 3, 2021, Priyamvada Natarajan guided the audience through what we currently know about the nature of dark matter and black holes. Natarajan is a professor in the Departments of Astronomy and Physics at Yale University, noted for her seminal… -
The Fascinating, Weird World of Quantum Matter
In her December 2 Perimeter Public Lecture webcast, Hallberg will explore examples of emergent phenomena and demonstrate how we can tackle these problems using quantum information to filter the most relevant data. By advancing research in this field, we hope to seed advances with applications from… -
A physicist's adventures in virology
Catherine Beauchemin - RIKEN
In her live Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on November 4, 2020, physicist Catherine Beauchemin used contemporary examples from COVID-19 and influenza to explain eroding public trust in health research – and why a dose of physics may be just the prescription we need. Beauchemin is a Professor of… -
Robert Spekkens and Elie Wolfe, Perimeter Institute
Robert Spekkens - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics , Elie Wolfe - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
What do data science and the foundations of quantum theory have to do with one another? A great deal, it turns out. The particular branch of data science known as causal inference focuses on a problem which is central to disciplines ranging from epidemiology to economics: that of disentangling…
