Geometry, Cosmology, and Grosseteste. Talk by Simon Mitton, Lincoln Cathedral, 22 Jan 2012

I'm an invited speaker at the international conference on "Architecture as Cosmology: Bishop Robert Grosseteste and Lincoln Cathedral" http://bit.ly/teLMv5

Grosseteste was a founder of what we now term the scientific method, and he wrote an important manuscript on cosmology (metaphysics) title De Luce (On Light)

My contribution is a paper on the relationship between geometry and cosmology, from antiquity to the present day. Awesome!
