From Simplicity to Complexity: Complex Systems Across Science
From black holes to our brains and bodies and the convoluted networks we create, researchers are increasingly turning to complexity science to crack the code of our most inscrutable systems.
Beginning with the universe itself, these astounding complex systems are composed of intricate, interacting parts. How did this complexity arise? Will it continue increasing over time? And what are the common principles underlying complex systems across the multitude of scientific disciplines? With ever faster and more powerful technology, today’s scientists are gaining insight into everything from infectious diseases and climate science to quantum physics.
In this Salon, leading thinkers from a wide variety of backgrounds grapple with the complexity of the universe, forever mindful of Einstein’s advice: “Everything should be a simple as possible, but not simpler.”
What is a Salon event?
World Science Festival Brisbane SALON events invite you to dive deeper into the science of specific topics, these informal discussions challenge participants to consider their shared passions from a fresh perspective.
By starting a dialogue, the Salon is designed to spark new explorations of science by the participants and the audience. The Salon sessions are smaller in capacity so audience and participants can enter into conversation at a detailed and thorough level.
