Christopher Wren’s Cosmos

- Sir Christopher Wren was one of the most remarkable Gresham Professors of Astronomy. Though best known today as the architectural mastermind behind the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire, Wren’s appointment to the Gresham chair in 1657 stemmed from his enthusiasm for turning his gaze well above London’s skyline and focussing his attention on the heavens above.
This lecture will consider Wren’s contributions to astronomy and how Wren’s appreciation of and contributions to art and design, and science and engineering, were fully integrated in his life and made him a polymath on a par with Leonardo da Vinci.
A lecture by Katherine Blundell OBE recorded on 22 February 2023 at David Game College, London.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

Catherine has the most warm voice , combined with perfect Englisch .
It's my favorite astronomy professor , sharing lectures on youtube.
Thank you alot ☆☆☆☆♡ Catherine .
Grtz from the netherlands

She is my favorite lecturer too! Greetings from New Jersey.
I love this professor's lectures. They are so fascinating and easy to follow from start to finish.
Thank you.
This is my third view of this lecture and I'm amazed at how much knowledge is conveyed here.
Many thanks for such excellence.
Thank you Gresham Collage.
Thank you (yet again) to Prof. Katherine Blundell for these brilliant lectures! I say this every release... You truly are my favorite lecturer. Also I have found other topics with great professors on this site.. So thank Gresham College for all the posts, lectures & excellent work!!
Prof. Katherine Blundell you are absolutely amazing.. And your Global Jet Watch is inspiring!
(I have to rewatch this episode... But I don't believe you said my favorite phrase this time !... "Not abit of it"😃
I actually attended at prof Sarah Hart's lecture about Wren and geometry he used for St Paul Cathedral 's dome ( that i've never knewn.) She spoke in such great enthusiasm it was so infectious that I wished that I knew more about Mathematics.
Reading Lisa Jardine's superb biography of Christopher Wren is what first got me interested in the Enlightenment, and at this point I've read over eighty nooks on the period, including biographies and histories.
The joy
49:58 It's patently obvious that people were emotionally tough, up through and including WW2. "Keep calm and carry on." Professor Blundell makes it obvious that this doesn't happen anymore.
True, it's incredible how fussy the British can be over their royals. It's amazing to attend these lectures, yet there's so much composure & strange dead weight of tradition involved.

I think we all knew that wren could have known nothing about the opposite side of the moon. The question was, how did Wren represent the opposite side in his model?

believe it or not that guys my cousin
Eclipses would have taught Geometers about the Camera Obscura setup, and Conics in general, from before memories were recorded, apart from scratches and Cave Paintings in the appropriate seasonal aspects to indicate hunting times for hunting and gathering.., and the significance of harmonic acoustics has always been associated with time-timing sync-duration Observation "Cosmology", built around learning by doing experience.
Our real-time relative-timing sum-of-all-histories existence is literally living in harmony with the functional Universal standing wave-packaging formation.
So the "Magical Thinking" derivivation of religious beliefs in Auditorium is perfectly obvious QM-TIME Completeness relevance and holographic time-timing presence of probabilistic correlations in temporal resonance.., ie Quantum Operator Logic Fields Modulation Mechanism Singularity positioning integration.
African telescopes? I think she meant elephants.
I normally love Katherine's lectures but the constant hitting of the microphone is unbearable.
Sound wasn't too bad.
Pre-Covid lecture hall sound was perfect 😢
Long hair hitting the mic??
Charles got what all royals deserve.
charles was a hero and a martyr

We can say for sure that Wren was definitely aware of this presentation of Actuality, but as always, ..it's not what you know/say, it's how you explain it and use it in manifestation that "matters " in materialisation.
This Universe is logarithmic condensation modulation, analog self-defining infinitesimal coordination-identification positioning, holographic distribution-superposition, and everyone who contemplated existence was "doing what comes naturally" in continuous creation awareness of real-time Actuality.
african telescopes no elephamts
micrometer no microscope
orbiting the moon no sun
and other mistakes
What's an elephamt?
I gave up after 27 seconds. "...before the United States of America was a thing."
Why?
What a loser 🤣 and you bothered to let us know 😂
It was just an offhand comment. Was it really so offensive? Your loss, I guess.
