Following Faraday’s Hint: The Search For Quantum Gravity

21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS

Description

The power of visualisation is important to the advancement of theoretical physics. For example, it is possible Michael Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic induction occurred due to his inference that magnetic fields about wires must be as wheels about a spoke. Nowadays, physicists and mathematicians use computers to translate this powerful way of thinking into images that further our understanding.

World renowned physicist Jim Gates describes his efforts to follow such a path and create a clearer understanding to a theory of quantum gravity using images named 'adinkras/adynkras.'
