Discovery Talks: Quantum Parallel Worlds

FUTURES: A FESTIVAL OF DISCOVERY WHERE YOU CAN EXPLORE THE PAST, CREATE THE PRESENT AND IMAGINE THE FUTURE.Back for another year, FUTURES promises to bigger and better than ever before! Across Bath, Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth, this festival of discovery will be taking place in September and October 2025.For FUTURES we are working right across the South West, with researchers from the University of Bath, Bath Spa University, University of Bristol, University of Exeter and University of Plymouth joining us.Some events are ticketed, some are drop in and all are completely FREE.You can find out more about FUTURES here:https://futuresnight.co.ukFUTURES: a festival of discovery is funded by UK Research and Innovation.

FUTURES

Join Dr Tony Short to explore how quantum theory describes how our universe behaves at the smallest scales.

FUTURES - A Festival of Discovery 2024

BACK FOR 2024!

FUTURES is a FREE festival of discovery, funded by UKRI and taking place in the South West across venues in Bath, Bristol, Devon, Exeter, Plymouth and online this Autumn.

Thank you for your interest in our event. This event is now fully booked but you can find more events like this on our page.

Quantum theory describes how our universe behaves at the smallest scales, where atoms and their constituent particles interact, and underpins almost all of modern physics. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to this hidden quantum world, highlighting some crucial and surprising differences between it and our everyday experiences. One way to understand quantum behaviour is through the branching and merging of parallel worlds, in which microscopic particles undergo different evolutions. This raises the question of whether parallel worlds exist at a larger scale, in which different, equally real, copies of you live out their lives. Presented by Dr Tony Short, School of Physics at the University of Bristol.
