The wavy nature of Nature

Dr Benito A Juárez Aubry, EPSRC Fellow, University of York

Abstract:

In this talk, I explain how scientists have come to describe the universe fundamentally in terms of waves. The microscopic world can be thought of as a bunch of interacting ‘probabilistic’ waves obeying quantum mechanical rules. Even further, the nature of space and time, unified as ‘spacetime’, is wavy too, and this gives rise to gravity. Will the final description of the universe tell us that everything’s just wavy?
