If there's a multiverse, then how many of its component universes are like our own?

John D. Barrow talks to us about the laws of nature, how the complexity of the world conceals elegant mathematical symmetries, and how chaos can arise from order.

Chris Budd tells us how big data can be used to model riots, analyse photos and shorten airport queues.

What do physicists at CERN mean when they talk about "sigma levels"?

Pau Figueras explains how Einstein's theories predicted the existence of black holes, and how to describe them mathematically.

We asked cosmologist Pau Figueras everything we’ve ever wanted to know about black holes. In this podcast he explains what black holes are, physically, and how we hope to observe them.

In this podcast George Ellis explains why the study of the cosmos poses some deep philosophical questions.

If you're going to excel in maths it helps to start early — and that's what Peter Scholze certainly did.

Ingrid Daubechies, President of the International Mathematical Union, about the importance of community in mathematics.

Martin Grötschel, Secretary of the International Mathematical Union, about maths at school, integrating developing nations, and his dream of putting all maths that's ever been produced online.

Manjul Bhargava tells us why playing with maths in important in finding your own way of thinking.

Why doing maths is like being Lewis Carroll's Red Queen and how to keep going beyond the formidable age of 84.

Artur Avila tells us about taming chaos.

How burning paper can win you a prestigious maths prize.

Cormac O' Raifeartaigh recently made a surprising discovery – an unpublished paper by Albert Einstein that sheds light on how Einstein's thinking about the Universe changed as he tackled some of the big questions in cosmology at the time.

Fields medallist Cédric Villani talks to us about our solar system, chaos, and what it's like being a mathematical superstar.
