Abstract:
In 7 dimensions there exist special shapes that may help us unlock the mysteries of the universe. Looking for this unique geometry is challenging, but nature holds a possible solution (specifically, bubbles and thermodynamics). This talk will take us on a mathematical journey across multiple dimensions, exploring their role in art, science and popular culture.
