The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Does Inflationary Cosmology Solve Fine-Tuning Problems?

Professor Robert Brandenberger (McGill) argues that inflationary models still face considerable challenges.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Inflationary Attractors

Dr David Sloan (Oxford) discusses the for inflation to occur given typical initial conditions. He argues that, on the right understanding of the background dynamics of the universe, inflationary conditions dominate.

Inflation After Planck

Professor Jerome Martin (Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris) explains the current state of evidence for inflationary models.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

Will supersonic transport ever make a comeback?

The Concord is seen as an iconic aircraft and a technological breakthrough – so why can we only see them in museums? In our episode of The Big Questions podcast series we visited Dr Neil Ashton from the E-Research Centre at the University of Oxford to ask

How Quantum Theory Can Help Understanding Natural Language

In the Quantum Group, we contribute to the field of natural language processing by using methods from mathematics and quantum theory to show how information flows between words in a sentence to give us the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

The Quantum and Cosmological Scales

How do we combine our theory of the very small with our theory of the largest scales of the universe? In the second part of their discussion, Jim Hartle and Bernard Carr hash out the connections between cosmology and quantum mechanics.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

What Fine Tunings Are There?

Is the universe fine-tuned for life? In the first part of their discussion, Bernard Carr and Jim Hartle discuss how physical theories might contain unexplained assumptions that are necessary for the existence of life.
