Description

Ragnhild Ljosland contributed to Howard's Firth's talk by singing the Old Norse poem Darradarljod from Njal's Saga. Abstract: The story of a vision in Caithness of the battle of Clontarf was remembered in North Ronaldsay for many centuries. And its interpretation, says Howie Firth, sheds light on the development of physics and the nature of time itself.
