The Universe is always surprising us with how little we know about... the Universe. It's continuously presenting us with stuff we never imagined, or even thought possible. The search for extrasolar planets is a great example. Since we started, astronomers have turned up over a thousand

If you rotate a bowling ball, it looks the same even though it's been "transformed". We say that the bowling ball exhibits "rotational symmetry". The particles making up the universe exhibit related kinds of symmetries, in which the particles are transformed but the equations describing th

The Cognitive Basis of Superstition and Belief in the Supernatural
What is superstition, and what is the psychological basis behind it? What drives belief in the supernatural, and is there any evolutionary basis for it? Are we merely driven to detect patterns in chaos, or is there something more to it? Let's dig into this now! Children’s belief in an inv

Fumiaki Suzuki - Birational rigidity of complete intersections
May 8, 2016 - Princeton University This talk was part of the Princeton-Tokyo Algebraic Geometry Conference Given a nearly rational variety (e.g. rationally connected variety, Fano variety or Mori fiber space), one of the most effective ways to prove its non-rationality is proving its bira

In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln describes the principle of supersymmetry in an easy-to-understand way. A theory is supersymmetric if it treats forces and matter on an equal footing. While supersymmetry is an unproven idea, it is popular with particle physics researchers as a po

Rigidity for von Neumann algebras – Adrian Ioana – ICM2018
Analysis and Operator Algebras Invited Lecture 8.5 Rigidity for von Neumann algebras Adrian Ioana Abstract: We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces.

Camille Horbez: Measure equivalence and right-angled Artin groups
Given a finite simple graph X, the right-angled Artin group associated to X is defined by the following very simple presentation: it has one generator per vertex of X, and the only relations consist in imposing that two generators corresponding to adjacent vertices commute. We investigate
