Edinburgh Festival Fringe Spoken Word £12
The Provocateurs: Good Predictions, Good Decisions? / Galactic Archaeology
The Provocateurs
The Stand Comedy Club 3 & 4 19 Aug
Stand 4 17.35 1hr

Good predictions don’t necessarily mean good decisions. Dr Lars Schewe (The University of Edinburgh) shows how mathematics is not just about making predictions, but can help to make decisions under uncertainty and what this means for future energy system planning. The Milky Way hosts billions of stars, but how did they get here and what can they tell us about our galaxy's history? Dr Veronika Dornan (The University of Edinburgh) reveals why our Sun is so lonely and what sausages have to do with galaxy mergers.
