Quantum gravity is the holy grail for modern theoretical physicists – a single structure that brings together the two great theories of the 20th century: quantum mechanics and general relativity. One widely-known solution is string theory, which emerged from particle physics. In this talk, Jim Baggott will describe the other approach known as Loop Quantum Gravity. This theory starts from general relativity, borrows many ideas and techniques from quantum mechanics, and predicts that space itself is quantum in nature.

Jim Baggott is an award-winning science writer. He trained as a scientist, completing a doctorate in chemical physics at the University of Oxford in the early 80s, before embarking on post-doctoral research studies at Oxford and at Stanford University in California.

This talk was filmed at the Ri on 12 February 2019.

In the summer of 2005, federal agents and police in Rockford, Illinois, captured over a thousand hours of surveillance footage inside a crack house. The gang smokes marijuana, plays with guns, and sells crack and heroin for six weeks, completely unaware that their every move is being recorded.

Customers come and go, unaware that their private lives are being revealed. This is an intimate portrait of a crack house's rise and fall, as well as a drug-addled American urban culture. Interviews with gang members, their friends, and police disclose the unavoidable tragedy - and the occasional dark humour - of a reality that exists underneath the surface of any major community.

How to become a successful farmer in Zimbabwe despite climate change, drought and other harsh weather conditions

In Senegal, where farming employs 70% of the population, desertification and land erosion have led to food insecurity. This video shows how researchers supported by the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa program worked with farmers to identify and implement farming strategies that protect against further desertification and improve yields under these new conditions.

Produced by A24 Media, this is part of a series of six videos on research supported by CCAA.

The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa research and capacity development program (2006-2012) was a joint initiative of Canada's International Development Research Centre and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID).

⁣President Paul Kagame has warned that it will be costly and complex for anyone with plans to destabilize Rwanda’s security and sovereignty.

Heroin is having a devastating effect on communities across South Africa. That's the conclusion of a study by an EU-funded project known as ENACT. A drug called Nyaope made of low-grade heroin is presenting a particular challenge. Users engage in a dangerous practice known as bluetoothing, in which the intoxicated blood of one user is injected into the veins of another. ENACT based its findings on interviews with gang members, drug dealers, users and police. They also found that the government and law enforcement are failing to tackle the problem. Some viewers may find some images in this report distressing.
