Does the weapons industry fund physics, and is a unified theory possible?
In short: In this recorded session from the Royal Institution, physicist Helen Czerski addresses fundamental questions about the nature of scientific funding and the quest for a single, all-encompassing theory of physics.
Following her presentation, UCL Lecturer Helen Czerski engages with audience inquiries regarding the practical and theoretical boundaries of the field. The discussion covers the relationship between physics research and the weapons industry, as well as the scientific pursuit of a unified theory.
Czerski, author of 'Storm in a Teacup', explores the physics embedded in everyday life, providing context for how these complex scientific questions intersect with our world.
