Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths

Fry examines the connection between music and math that fascinated ancient Greece, explores mathematical patterns in nature, and views the brain’s hardwiring for math.

Adding to the case that math was discovered, Hannah examines Newton’s work on gravity. But Georg Cantor’s theories on the sizes of infinity point to math being invented.

Hanna discusses the two main theories predicting and describing the universe-quantum physics and general relativity-which are incompatible with each other.
