Julian Barbour has developed some of the most radical and compelling ideas in modern physics, challenging our assumptions about time, motion, and the structure of the universe.

In this session, Julian makes the Newtonian case for why the universe may be fundamentally complex, and what that means for how we think about the cosmos.
