Marcus du Sautoy: Faster Than the Speed of Light?

Professor Marcus du Sautoy explores claims that scientists at CERN have detected particles which seem to travel faster than the speed of light

In September 2011, an international group of scientists has made an astonishing claim – they have detected particles that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. It was a claim that contradicted more than a hundred years of scientific orthodoxy. Suddenly there was talk of all kinds of bizarre concepts, from time travel to parallel universes.

So what is going on? Has Einstein‘s famous theory of relativity finally met its match? Will we one day … Ler mais

Marcus du Sautoy – Precision: The measure of All Things

Time, Distance, Mass, Moles, Heat, Light and Electricity

Professor Marcus du Sautoy explores why we are driven to measure and quantify the world around us and why we have reduced the universe to just a handful of fundamental units of measurement.

  1. Time and distance
    Professor Marcus du Sautoy tells the story of the metre and the second – how an astonishing journey across revolutionary France gave birth to the metre, and how scientists today are continuing to redefine the measurement of time and length, with extraordinary results.

How Long is a Piece of String?

Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string?

Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string? But what appears to be a simple task soon turns into a mind-bending voyage of discovery where nothing is as it seems.

An encounter with leading mathematician Marcus du Sautoy reveals that Alan’s short length of string may in fact be infinitely long. When Alan attempts to measure his string at the atomic scale, events take an even stranger turn. Not only do objects appear … Ler mais

The Music of the Primes

Marcus du Sautoy presents the story of those who have tried to capture one of the greatest unsolved problems of mathematics, the pattern of prime numbers

For more than 2000 years, a mathematical riddle has baffled the world’s greatest minds. It’s a problem of such difficulty that it has tormented those mathematicians brave enough to tackle it. Some have given up in despair. Others have been driven mad.

Yet it’s a conundrum that helped Britain to win the Second World War; that was instrumental in the birth of the computer; and that has shed light on the behaviour of atoms, the building blocks of matter itself.… Ler mais
