How to get there

Description

Physicist and musician Stephon Alexander has straddled the worlds of theoretical physics and jazz music over the last two decades.

In his talk, Alexander revisits the interconnection between music and the evolution of astrophysics and the laws of motion. He explores new ways music, in particular jazz, mirrors modern physics, such as quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the physics of the early universe.

He will also discuss ways innovations in physics have been and can be inspired from “improvisational logic” exemplified in jazz performance and practice.

Alexander, a professor of physics at Brown University, works on the connection between the smallest and largest entities in the universe, pushing Einstein's theory of curved space-time to extremes, beyond the big bang with sub atomic phenomena.
