Gravity and continuum (5 Feb 2013)

from Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2013 Hosted by UCL

Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2013 Dr Christian Boehmer, Lecturer, UCL MAPS Within theoretical physics the gravitational force is the odd one out. It is much weaker than the other forces, its mathematical formulation is different and we are struggling to understand it. In this talk Dr Boehmer outlines a new approach to understanding the gravitational force which is motivated by ideas from material sciences and in particular the study of crystals. UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities. Across all disciplines our faculties are known for their research-intensive approaches, academic excellence and engagement with global challenges. This is the basis of our world-renowned degree programmes. Visit us at ucl.ac.uk.
