Evrenin sesi nasıl duyuluyor? Müzikal bir tur

Uzay gerçekten de sık sık tasvir edildiği gibi sessiz ve cansız bir yer mi? Belki de hayır. Astrofizikçi ve müzisyen Matt Russo, gezegen yörüngelerinin gizli ritim ve harmonilerini açığa çıkararak bizi evrende bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor. Evren müzikle dolu, diyor -- sadece onu nasıl duyacağımızı öğrenmemiz gerek.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxUofT, an independent event. TED's editors chose to feature it for you.

"The Jazz of Physics"

An accessible introduction to the many parallels between music and physics, from quantum waves to the sound of the big bang. Although often focused on analogies, the chapter on Pythagoras and Kepler's Music of the Spheres beautifully exposes the real musicality in our universe that goes far beyond metaphor.
