The World As It Should Be is a new podcast from the team who bring you the Primadonna festival – and its prize.

Primadonna describes its weekend festival as ‘the world as it should be, for one weekend’.

But what if it could last for longer than a weekend? In this podcast series, we’ll be asking brilliant people – some of whom you’ll know, some of whom you might be meeting for the first time – how they’d create their world, as it should be.

They’ve all got one thing in common: they’re doing something amazing with their work: they’re breaking down barriers, and making people think.

Have a listen to find out more.

Theme tune by Deb Googe.

By: Henri Poincaré

Jules Henri Poincaré (1854–1912) was one of France’s greatest mathematicians and theoretical physicists, and a philosopher of science.
As a mathematician and physicist, he made many original fundamental contributions to pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and celestial mechanics. He was responsible for formulating the Poincaré conjecture, one of the most famous problems in mathematics. In his research on the three-body problem, Poincaré became the first person to discover a chaotic deterministic system which laid the foundations of modern chaos theory. He is considered to be one of the founders of the field of topology. Poincaré introduced the modern principle of relativity and was the first to present the Lorentz transformations in their modern symmetrical form. He discovered the remaining relativistic velocity transformations and recorded them in a letter to Lorentz in 1905. Thus he obtained perfect invariance of all of Maxwell’s equations, the final step in the formulation of the theory of special relativity. (Summary from Wikipedia)
