The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Inflation After Planck

Professor Jerome Martin (Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris) explains the current state of evidence for inflationary models.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

The Observer Strikes Back

What is an observer? In the fifth and final part of their discussion, Jim Hartle and Bernard Carr discuss the nature of observers.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

No Boundaries for Quantum Cosmology

Where is the observer in the universe? In the fourth part of their discussion, Jim Hartle and Bernard Carr discuss Jim Hartle’s no-boundary proposal.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Physics and Philosophy

What are the limits of physics? In the third part of their discussion, Bernard Carr and Jim Hartle talk about the point at which physics ends and philosophy begins.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

The Quantum and Cosmological Scales

How do we combine our theory of the very small with our theory of the largest scales of the universe? In the second part of their discussion, Jim Hartle and Bernard Carr hash out the connections between cosmology and quantum mechanics.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Frontiers in Cosmology

In the fourth part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock conjecture about future developments in cosmology. What part of cosmology is most likely to be fruitful? This discussion was conducted at Trinity College, Oxford, on May 12, 2016.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Data and New Work

In the second part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock discuss possible future sources of data and developments in cosmology. They conjecture about the search for dark matter and its impact on astronomy.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Statistics and Prediction

In the first part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock compare approaches to statistics and how these bear on predictions in cosmology, including Weinberg’s prediction of the cosmological constant.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Practical Fine-Tuning

In the fourth part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan look for ways the fine-tuning problems can lead to advances in physics.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

What Is Fine-Tuning?

In the first part of their discussion, Luke Barnes and David Sloan come up with a working understanding of fine-tuning. They also discuss various examples of fine-tuning in physics. This discussion was conducted at Trinity College, Oxford, on May 13, 2016
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Where and how might we search for life? From planet demographics to biosignatures

Professor Suzanne Aigrain is an expert exoplanet researcher. In this talk she will outline the methods for detection and characterisation of exoplanets in the context of finding planets that might harbor life.

The Unity of the Universe

The Final Dennis Sciama Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor David Deutsch
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Fundamental constants and biology

George Ellis of the University of Cape Town shows how we can use a space of possibilities to assess the fragility of life. This talk was part of the Consolidation of Fine-Tuning Project's first workshop, "Life in the Universe", on November 3, 2015.
