Other lectures
The Tyndall Lecture 2009 - 'The Human Body is the Ultimate Physics Laboratory
20 January 2009
Physics is the Cinderella of the sciences when talking about Human Body function. This lecture shows how its role is taken for granted and often under-valued compared to its two ugly sisters Chemistry and Biology. We will explore how the same physical principles determine the size of an aneurysm, the characteristic tone of flatulence or the curvature of a David Beckham free-kick.
