John Pardon won a Fields Medal for work in geometry that sheds a light on the nature of our Universe.
Mathematics is an indispensable tool in physics, but can physics solve problem in maths? Find out more in this article.
That geometry should be relevant to physics is no surprise — after all, space is the arena in which physics happens. What is surprising, though, is the extent to which the geometry of space actually determines physics and just how exotic the geometric structure of our Universe appears to be. Plus met up with mathematician Shing-Tung Yau to find out more.
