Title: Planets ~ Springs (The Newton-Hooke Duality and Beyond)
Abstract:
What if I told you that planets (as in Newtonian gravity) and springs (as in Hooke's law) are related and one can use complex numbers to establish the connection? It sounds incredible, right? Well, it's only the tip of the intellectual iceberg we are going to explore in this talk. So strap in because we're about to launch into an amazing adventure!
