Lecture 4 - The Music of Exoplanets

Humans have been fascinated by the relationship between astronomy, mathematics, and music for thousands of years – a relationship that is more intriguing than ever today with the advent of new tools, such as the James Webb Space Telescope, that allow us to see distant and ancient exoplanets. This lecture-recital brings together physicists Brian Foster and Raymond Pierrehumbert, composer Robert Laidlow and violinist Freya Goldmark to explore how the latest research in astrophysics can give rise to brand new ways of making music.
