In Person

I sometimes participate in science events and one-day masterclasses on subjects that affect us all and help to explain the world around us.

Upcoming Events

Vlatko attends, speaks, and participates in many in person and online events throughout the year, however there are no forthcoming events scheduled at present.

Please check back again soon as this page is updated regularly.

I’d like to dedicate this short piece to my late friend Prof. Peter T. Landsberg, who was a “thermodynamicist” (this is how he liked to call himself). I used to meet him at the Athenaeum, in the good old days when smoking cigars was still allowed indoors.

Absolute zero is the lowest temperature but is there an upper limit?

There are a number of arguments as to why there should be an upper bound on the value of temperature. The simplest is that temperature is related to energy (via Boltzmann’s constant). So if we believe that the energy in the universe is finite (a reasonable supposition), then that gives us the highest temperature.

This is a riff on the old musings of Bishop Berkeley who asked whether a tree falling in the forest makes a sound if there is no one there to hear it.
