The Fundamental Patterns That Explain the Universe - With Brian Clegg

Explore the fundamental patterns that explain the universe in this enlightening talk by Brian Clegg. Delve into ten essential sequenced systems, from cosmic microwave background to Feynman diagrams, that reveal the underlying rules creating patterns of action, force, and consequence in our universe. Discover how these patterns provide a unique perspective on the physical world and its fundamental workings, covering topics such as the relationships between space and time, quantum behaviors governing matter and light interactions, and the evolution of scientific naming conventions. Gain insights into concepts like optical illusions, probabilities, DNA base pairs, and mirror symmetry, all of which contribute to our understanding of the universe's intricate design.
