Sounds of Science is the first movement of a symphony for many (scientific) instruments and voices, united in celebration of the frontiers of science and intended for a general audience. John Goodenough, the maestro who transformed energy usage and technology through the invention of the lithium-ion battery, opens the programme, reflecting on the ultimate limits of battery technology. This applied theme continues through the subsequent pieces on energy-related topics-the sodium-ion battery and artificial fuels, by Martin Mansson-and the ultimate challenge for 3D printing, the eventual production of life, by Anthony Atala. A passage by Gerianne Alexander follows, contemplating a related issue: How might an artificially produced human being behave? Next comes a consideration of consciousness and free will by Roland Allen and Suzy Lidstrom. Further voices and new instruments enter as Warwick Bowen, Nicolas Mauranyapin and Lars Madsen discuss whether dynamical processes of single molecules might be observed in their native state. The exploitation of chaos in science and technology, applications of Bose-Einstein condensates and the significance of entropy follow in pieces by Linda Reichl, Ernst Rasel and Roland Allen, respectively. Mikhail Katsnelson and Eugene Koonin then discuss the potential generalisation of thermodynamic concepts in the context of biological evolution. Entering with the music of the cosmos, Philip Yasskin discusses whether we might be able to observe torsion in the geometry of the Universe. The crescendo comes with the crisis of singularities, their nature and whether they can be resolved through quantum effects, in the composition of Alan Coley. The climax is Mario Krenn, Art Melvin and Anton Zeilinger's consideration of how computer code can be autonomously surprising and creative. In a harmonious counterpoint, his 'Guidelines for considering AIs as coauthors', Roman Yampolskiy concludes that code is not yet able to take responsibility for coauthoring a paper. An interlude summarises a speech by Zdenek Papousek. In a subsequent movement, new themes emerge as we seek to comprehend how far we have travelled along the path to understanding, and speculate on where new physics might arise. Who would have imagined, 100 years ago, a global society permeated by smartphones and scientific instruments so sophisticated that genes can be modified and gravitational waves detected?

科学之声——多种乐器和声音的交响乐

科学之声是许多(科学)乐器和声音的交响乐的第一乐章,联合起来庆祝科学的前沿并面向普通观众。通过发明锂离子电池改变了能源使用和技术的大师约翰·古迪纳夫 (John Goodenough) 打开了该计划,反思了电池技术的极限。这个应用的主题在随后的与能源相关的主题——钠离子电池和人造燃料,由 Martin Mansson 和 Anthony Atala 对 3D 打印的终极挑战——最终的生命生产——中延续。接下来是 Gerianne Alexander 的一段话,思考一个相关的问题:人工制造的人类会如何行为?接下来是 Roland Allen 和 Suzy Lidstrom 对意识和自由意志的考虑。随着 Warwick Bowen、Nicolas Mauranyapin 和 Lars Madsen 讨论是否可以在原始状态下观察到单个分子的动力学过程,更多的声音和新仪器进入了讨论。Linda Reichl、Ernst Rasel 和 Roland Allen 分别阐述了科学技术中混沌的开发、玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚的应用以及熵的重要性。Mikhail Katsnelson 和 Eugene Koonin 随后讨论了热力学概念在生物进化背景下的潜在推广。随着宇宙的音乐进入,菲利普·亚斯金讨论了我们是否能够观察到宇宙几何结构的扭转。高潮伴随着奇点的危机、奇点的性质以及它们是否可以通过量子效应解决,在艾伦科利的作品中。高潮是 Mario Krenn、Art Melvin 和 Anton Zeilinger 对计算机代码如何能够自主地令人惊讶和创造性的考虑。Roman Yampolskiy 在他的“将 AI 视为合著者的指南”中得出了一个和谐的对比,他得出结论,代码尚不能承担合着论文的责任。一个插曲总结了 Zdenek Papousek 的演讲。在随后的运动中,新的主题出现了,因为我们试图理解我们在理解的道路上走了多远,并推测新物理学可能出现的地方。100 年前,谁会想到一个全球社会充斥着智能手机和科学仪器,如此复杂以至于可以修改基因和检测引力波?考虑计算机代码如何能够自主地出人意料和创造性。Roman Yampolskiy 在他的“将 AI 视为合著者的指南”中得出了一个和谐的对比,他得出结论,代码尚不能承担合着论文的责任。一个插曲总结了 Zdenek Papousek 的演讲。在随后的运动中,新的主题出现了,因为我们试图理解我们在理解的道路上走了多远,并推测新物理学可能出现的地方。100 年前,谁会想到一个全球社会充斥着智能手机和科学仪器,如此复杂以至于可以修改基因和检测引力波?考虑计算机代码如何能够自主地出人意料和创造性。Roman Yampolskiy 在他的“将 AI 视为合著者的指南”中得出了一个和谐的对比,他得出结论,代码尚不能承担合着论文的责任。一个插曲总结了 Zdenek Papousek 的演讲。在随后的运动中,新的主题出现了,因为我们试图理解我们在理解的道路上走了多远,并推测新物理学可能出现的地方。100 年前,谁会想到一个全球社会充斥着智能手机和科学仪器,如此复杂以至于可以修改基因和检测引力波?Roman Yampolskiy 得出结论,代码尚不能承担共同撰写论文的责任。一个插曲总结了 Zdenek Papousek 的演讲。在随后的运动中,新的主题出现了,因为我们试图理解我们在理解的道路上走了多远,并推测新物理学可能出现的地方。100 年前,谁会想到一个全球社会充斥着智能手机和科学仪器,如此复杂以至于可以修改基因和检测引力波?Roman Yampolskiy 得出结论,代码尚不能承担共同撰写论文的责任。一个插曲总结了 Zdenek Papousek 的演讲。在随后的运动中,新的主题出现了,因为我们试图理解我们在理解的道路上走了多远,并推测新物理学可能出现的地方。100 年前,谁会想到一个全球社会充斥着智能手机和科学仪器,如此复杂以至于可以修改基因和检测引力波?
