Walking on Water - From Biolocomotion to Quantum Foundations

University of Oxford via YouTube

Overview

This course explores the concept of walking on water, connecting biolocomotion to quantum foundations through a common mathematical framework. The learning outcomes include understanding surface tension, hidden variable theories, and quantum analogues. The course teaches skills in analyzing wave fields, dynamics, and Fadel oscillations. The teaching method is a public lecture with technical content. The intended audience includes individuals interested in mathematics, fluid dynamics, and the philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics.
