Science & Cocktails in Paradiso

We tend to think of the universe as a stage where objects simply interact. But look deeper: the stage itself may have emerged from the players. Emergence is the hidden force building complexity from simplicity. In this special episode, we bring together leading scientists to unravel this mystery. Physicist Vijay Balasubramanian explores how space, time, and neural processes arise. Constantino Tsallis examines entropy’s cosmic role. Suchitra Sebastian reveals how simple quantum interactions create exotic matter. Their discussion is interwoven with Mark IJzerman’s audio-visual performance ‘From the Foam’, a living portrait of emergence.
