Does life as a couple make sense? Is it possible to make copla with astrophysics? In this crazy show we will answer these and other apparently meaningless questions, and we will demonstrate scientifically that you can do fun science and learn while having a good laugh.
How to win at everything: a workshop
Sometimes games depend on chance, but often the chance is only apparent, and we can use mathematics to win ALWAYS. In this talk we will give some tricks that we can take advantage of.
Telescopes from yesterday, today and forever
Ever since Galileo pointed a telescope at the sky in the summer of 1623, astronomers have striven to design instruments that allow us to go further and further in our understanding of the cosmos. A larger telescope is able to capture more light, and therefore, to reach further. In this...
Science and Football: helping Levante FC with mathematics and data
In this talk, we will explore how science and technology are revolutionising the world of football, taking Levante FC as an example. We will talk about how data analysis, mathematical algorithms and technological advances are transforming the sport.
Build your own solar charger
In this workshop, you will be able to build your own solar phone charger from scratch!
The cosmic piano
The Cosmic Piano is designed to detect elementary particles called muons, which are generated by the arrival of cosmic rays on Earth. When the muons hit a module, sounds and flashes of light are produced, making visible these particles that cannot be seen with the naked eye. . In this...
The score of juggling: siteswaps and mathematics
How can you write down juggling tricks so that you can remember them in time? Is there a way to "write" shot combinations? Siteswaps allow you to do this and much more. In this talk we will talk about them, allowing you to get to know them in depth in...
From the abacus to the quantum computer – a brief interactive history of computing
If you want to know how humans went from doing basic operations with the abacus to handling qbits in complex quantum computers, don't miss this interactive talk. We will take a historical look at human creativity and invention applied to the world of computing. You will learn how to calculate...
Einstein for the perplexed
Albert Einstein changed the way we understand space and time, mass and energy, light and matter. From his theories we deduce the expansion of the Universe, the relativity of time and the strangest creatures in the cosmos: black holes.
The mirage of the majority
Mathematics can help us understand our collective behaviour, also in social networks. The structure of networks and the algorithms that regulate the information we receive and send sometimes lead to unexpected phenomena that are not always positive. Knowing them can help us to have a better experience of accessing social...
