The topological character of geometry can influence anything from puzzles and the weather to the shape of spacetime. University of Cambridge Physicists say that the world is simple, but biologists disagree. Superstrings, chaos and the theory of complexity all help to resolve this contradiction. March 2000, 10am - 4pm Visit us in Cambridge during SET week to experience our interactive games, puzzles and challenges on Saturday 18th March. Discover the truth behind boomerangs, harness gravity to produce noise with Euler's spinning disc, understand why gyroscopes balance and pit your wits against all comers in fiendish contests of strategic skill.
All ages welcome.
