CBC IDEAS at Perimeter - The Numbers That Shape Our Universe
Perimeter Institute Researchers
1:01:57·2026·research level·Research Seminar
This colloquium explores the significance of fundamental physical constants—from π to Planck's constant—and their role in defining universal laws. Researchers discuss implications if these values were altered, examining the universe's inherent structure.
From π to the speed of light, from Planck’s constant to a physicist’s personal “favourite number”, some numbers do far more than describe the universe - they help define it. But what do these numbers actually mean? Why do they matter? And what would the universe look like if they were even slightly different?
