Why the most important physics happens in the middle scale
In short: Physics is often framed as a choice between the tiny quantum world and the vast cosmos. In this lecture, Helen Czerski explores the overlooked middle ground: the everyday oddities that reveal the science governing our immediate reality.
Recorded at the Royal Institution on 15 February 2017, this talk moves beyond the extremes of subatomic particles and deep space. Helen Czerski, a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at UCL and author of "Storm in a Teacup", examines how observing common patterns in our daily lives can provide a new perspective on modern science and technology.
