Physics

Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

'Light' Part 1 - Connecting to the internet through your lights

Can we receive information through our lighting?
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Frontiers in Cosmology

In the fourth part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock conjecture about future developments in cosmology. What part of cosmology is most likely to be fruitful? This discussion was conducted at Trinity College, Oxford, on May 12, 2016.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Dark Energy and the Multiverse

In the third part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock consider approaches to dark energy. Should we accept the multiverse, or wait for a theory of quantum gravity?
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Data and New Work

In the second part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock discuss possible future sources of data and developments in cosmology. They conjecture about the search for dark matter and its impact on astronomy.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Statistics and Prediction

In the first part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock compare approaches to statistics and how these bear on predictions in cosmology, including Weinberg’s prediction of the cosmological constant.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Practical Fine-Tuning

In the fourth part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan look for ways the fine-tuning problems can lead to advances in physics.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Comparing Theories

In the third part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan puzzle over the way we compare theories, and whether there can be a theory that doesn’t have some unexplained posits.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Approaches to Probability

In the second part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan go over the difference between frequentist and bayesian statistics, and how this difference applies to astrophysics and cosmology.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

What Is Fine-Tuning?

In the first part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan come up with a working understanding of fine-tuning. They also discuss various examples of fine-tuning in physics. This discussion was conducted at Trinity College, Oxford, on May 13, 2016
