About this listen
What do melting ice, wildfires, and pandemics have in common? They all follow hidden mathematical rules—rules that one man uncovered.Meet Hugo Duminil-Copin, the mathematician who cracked the code of randomness and phase transitions. His discoveries explain how tiny shifts cause massive changes—like water turning to ice or a single spark igniting a forest fire.
His work isn’t just theoretical—it’s transforming how we predict disease outbreaks, design materials, and even understand financial crashes. From magnets to markets, his math reveals the tipping points that shape our world.
Join us as we dive into the work of Hugo Duminil-Copin and explore how his breakthroughs help us navigate an unpredictable world. If you thought math was just about equations, think again—this is the science of chaos itself
