The Lvivian School of Mathematics

Cosmology - with Mateusz Kulejewski - episode 2

In this episode we return to our conversation about cosmology. We go over the history of the Universe going backwards in time, we learn that not long after Big Bang, bubbles similar to the ones forming in a kettle - formed in early Universe. Finally, we mention a critical discrepancy between observation and almost all physical models of the Universe as a whole. Are we on the verge of a breakthrough?

The Lvivian School of Mathematics

An account of a beautiful romantic pursue of a dream to understand and play with Mathematics. The story is not widely recognised, although the whole branch of functional analysis owes to the gentlemen, who laid its foundations. The theorems were born with the smoke of a cigarette in a noise of a memorable cafe.

Cosmology - with Mateusz Kulejewski - episode 1

In this episode I talk to Mateusz Kulejewski - a passionate young cosmologist. We discuss how the scientific work affects one's view on cosmos, whether the universe had a beginning, we explore the idea of falsifiability and we try to assess the role of mathematics and abstract entitites. What was humans' path to understanding vastness of space? Why do stars make us inherently curious?...
