Dear All, <br>
<br>

nontechnical, suitable to a general audience. Note the unusual
time and place.<br>

Connections between physics and technological invention and
aspects of human life<br>
that seem far from science are both unexpected and unexpectedly
common. And<br>
rather than flowing one way - from physics to gadgets - the
connections form an<br>
intricate web, linking all aspects of human culture, in a way
that frustrates our<br>
convenient compartmentalisations and coarse interventions aimed
at promoting<br>
technology transfer. I will discuss this theme not abstractly
but with examples,<br>
ranging from music to the colour of gold, and explain how
quantum physics helps me<br>
do quantum physics (sic).<br>
