The Yabloko Party University to host a lecture by astrophysicist Sergei Popov: ‘The Laws of Nature and Mathematics’
Press Release, 2.04.2026
Yabloko invites you to a lecture by astrophysicist and Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Popov, ‘The Laws of Nature and Mathematics’, to be held at the party’s central office in Moscow on 14 April.
When we speak of the modern scientific description of the world, we inevitably find ourselves wanting to discover the “laws of nature”. Ideally, we express these laws in the form of mathematical equations. But in doing so, are we uncovering the laws of nature, or merely devising a useful way of describing them? Will a mathematically correct formula always describe a real object found in nature? And to what extent does working with the equations of mathematical physics help us make predictions for experiments and observations?
We will explore these questions through a series of examples, drawing on black holes and neutron stars, planets of the Solar System and exoplanets, to help us navigate these complex issues.
Sergei Popov’s lecture ‘The Laws of Nature and Mathematics’ will take place on 14 April at the Yabloko party office at 31/2 Pyatnitskaya Street, Moscow. It begins at 7 pm.
Admission by prior registration.
