OII Internet Awards 2014: Interview with Barry Wellman

Series
Oxford Internet Institute - Lectures and Seminars
Embed
Interview with Barry Wellman on receiving a lifetime achievement award at the OII Internet Awards 2014.
Barry Wellman discusses his early work on urban sociology and social networks in the city, and describes how this fascination with the evolution of community relationships shaped his scholarship. He offers insights into the concept of 'networked individualism' as it plays out across different spheres of our lives, particularly in networked work, and sets a research agenda for the next stage of his remarkable career.

The Emergent Multiverse

Image
The Emergent Multiverse
The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that quantum theory - our best current theory of physics - is correctly understood as claiming that there are many worlds that exist in parallel to our own and which branch constantly off our own. The existence of the other worlds makes it possible to make sense of physics without action-at-a-distance, objective randomness, or any strange role for "observer" or "consciousness". During this weekend school we shall be discussing this interpretation of quantum mechanics and asking what would follow from its being the correct one.

"Hidden Worlds" Part 3 - The virtual universe

Series
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks
Embed
Dr Andrew Pontzen explains how chains of computers can be set up to simulate billions of years of development of the universe, but in a time period of weeks.
By inputting what is known about the early universe and applying the laws of physics, it is possible to explore how the universe has evolved.

"Hidden Worlds" Part 2 - Robert Robinson’s chemical box

Series
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks
Embed
Edward Imrie and Dr Stephen Johnston Edward Imrie and Dr Stephen Johnston talk about a surprising discovery – a collection of boxes, originally containing chocolates and soap, now full of tiny chemical vials thought to date back to the 1930s.
The chemicals belonged to Sir Robert Robinson, a respected Oxford chemist and Nobel laureate. By investigating the chemicals, it was hoped that clues could be found about Robinson’s research.
