Talk 1: Fifty ways not to do it, the history of how optical fibre communications were invented.
In 2009 the Nobel Prize committee gave the Physics prize to Charles Kao for the invention of fibre optical communications. But the story wasn’t that simple, and it didn’t have a single lone inventor. So how did we invent the idea of using glass fibres for long distance communications? And why are we returning to some of the discarded ideas?
