Mike Edmunds on decoding galaxies and ancient astronomical artefacts The Life Scientific

    • 個人日誌

What is the universe made of? Where does space dust come from?
And how exactly might one go about putting on a one-man-show about Sir Isaac Newton?
These are all questions that Mike Edmunds, Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics at Cardiff University and President of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), has tackled during his distinguished career. And although physics is his first love, Mike is fascinated by an array of scientific disciplines - with achievements ranging from interpreting the spread of chemical elements in the Universe, to decoding the world’s oldest-known astronomical artefact.
Recording in front of an audience at the RAS in London, Professor Jim Al-Khalili talks to Mike about his life, work and inspirations.
And who knows, Sir Isaac might even make an appearance…
