Astronomers have learnt about the early universe from the discovery in 1965 and subsequent observations of the radiation left over from the Big Bang. Jodrell Bank receivers are aboard the Planck spacecraft now observing this afterglow with unequalled clarity. What might it tell us about the past and future of our universe? http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-afterglow-of-creationCollected in GreshamCollege's videos Sep 8, 2011 -
Science's First Mistake: Delusions in Pursuit of Theory - Professor Ian Angell
Science is a perpetual search for new ideas, but this says nothing of how correct it is. Professor Angell argues that no matter how elaborate, sophisticated or subtle a scientific description may appear, it always generates paradox. Science, the formal enterprise for probing the nature of reality, is awash with such paradoxes, from zero and infinity, to causality, particles and gravity. Reality emerges from our systems of observation, but Ian argues that paradox is a fundamental property of observation withCollected in GreshamCollege's videos May 20, 2011 -

These characteristics have made major contributions to the success of human artistic, scientific and commercial endeavours.Collected in GreshamCollege's videos Sep 15, 2010 -

Is the world simple or complicated? - Professor John D Barrow FRS - Gresham College Lectures
Stop some particle physicists in the street and they will probably try to persuade you that the world is simple and governed by a single Theory of Everything. But stop a biologist, an economist or a social scientist, and they will tell you quite the opposite: the world is a higgledy-piggledy collection of complexity and chaos.Collected in GreshamCollege's videos Sep 8, 2010 -
