Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 14: Building scientific models with computers
Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 14: Building scientific models with computers Model building is one of the oldest scientific activities and is essential for allowing us to understand the complex reality of nature. Modern computers have allowed scientists to develop models of unprecedented accuracy and detail, and this lecture will explore and illustrate some aspects of the contemporary field, using examples ranging from cosmology and geosciences to engineering and materials sciences. The power of modern visualisation techniques will also be illustrated. Vintage Podcasts - Lunch Hour Lectures

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2009 - Episode 10: Seeing the invisible: Observing the dark side of the universe
Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2009 - Episode 10: Seeing the invisible: Observing the dark side of the universe To celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the telescope and World Space Week. Dr Bridle will describe in pictures ‘gravitational lensing’, the bending of light by gravity, which is predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity. The mysterious dark components that constitute most of the universe do not emit or absorb light, but they do exert a gravitational attraction, and gravitational lensing is one of the most promising methods for finding out more about them. Dr Bridle will review the current observations and upcoming surveys. Dr Sarah Bridle Royal Society University Research Fellow Cosmology@UCL Vintage Podcasts - Lunch Hour Lectures
