Subject: Is Physics Creative?
Speaker: Professor Mike Payne, Head of the Theory of Condensed Matter group
at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.

In this talk Professor Payne discusses what exactly theoretical physicists aim to do. He explains that although bound by the constraints of experiment and the rigidity of mathematics, theoretical physics still provides room for creative thought about how our universe works and the way things fit together.
