The
Institute of Physics would like to invite you to a public
Lecture given by Professor Sir Michael Berry.
How
quantum physics democratised music
Date:
Monday 4th March 2013
Venue: Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT
Time: 18.30 (registration from 18.00)
“Connections
between physics, technological invention, and aspects of human
life that seem far from science, are both unexpected and
unexpectedly common. And rather than flowing one way – from
physics to gadgets – the connections form an intricate and
subtle web, linking all aspects of human culture in a way that
eludes our convenient intellectual categories.”
In
this lecture, Sir Michael Berry will explore this theme in a
non-technical way. The talk will range widely, from music,
through how quantum physics helps him do quantum physics, to
oriental mirrors and the colour of gold.
The
full details about the lecture and speaker can be found in
the pdf.
The
lecture is free to attend and is open to all, physicists and
non-physicists alike, so please feel free to pass this
invitation on to your colleagues, students, relatives or anyone
else whom you think would like to attend.
Places
are limited, so registration is required for those wishing to
attend.
