Three facets of geometry: from Euclid's axioms to Cosmic Censorship

Professor Maciej Dunajski (Professor of Mathematical Physics)

The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof - deductive reasoning from a set of axioms - first arose. I will explain how Euclidean and non—Euclidean geometry can describe the space time inside a black hole.

Matrix mechanics

Professor Austen Lamacraft (Professor of Theoretical Physics)

The invention of matrix mechanics, the first formulation of modern quantum mechanics, by Werner Heisenberg
