Scientists describe the universe in terms of waves. They think of the microscopic world as a collection of interacting ‘probabilistic’ waves obeying quantum mechanical rules. Space and time themselves are wavy and this gives rise to gravity.

Dr Benito Juárez Aubry will talk about how the whole of nature is ultimately the interaction of these many many waves, obeying quantum mechanical rules.

Note - the earlier start time of 7:30 is because England’s first match in the FIFA men’s world cup kicks off at 9pm that evening. The meeting will finish by 8:30pm, giving time for fans to get home to watch the match. The venue expects to screen the match as well.

Thank you to the many people who replied to the mini-survey. Nearly two thirds of the respondents said they would like a meeting on this date (fans and non-fans alike).
