SUMMARY

Scientists have always used models. Since the ancient Ptolemaic model of the universe through to renaissance astrolabes, models have mapped out the consequences of predictions. They allow scientists to explore indirectly worlds which they could never access.

Join Sir Richard Catlow as he explores how high-performance computing has transformed the way comprehend our world. From testing hypotheses at planetary scale to developing a personalised approach to supercharging the fight against Covid.

In the first Discourse since the pandemic interruption, Sir Richard explores systems beyond our imagination with specially developed demos and historical objects from our collection.
