Description:

"Models and Predictions"

In our quest to uncover the fundamental properties of nature, physicists rely on learning to distinguish between known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. In this lecture, we will explore how to effectively describe the same system at many different scales, and the surprising connections this can lead to.

Alex Edison, Postdoctoral Scholar, Northwestern University
