Suppose someone gave you a terabyte of data on an epidemic. What are the theoretical concepts you need to know in order to understand collective behaviour in such a system? In this lecture, we will take an interdisciplinary perspective on how order emerges in non-equlibrium systems. We will introduce the theoretical concepts we need to know to identify and understand collective order in space and time. We will begin by introducing core concepts from non-equilibrium statistical physics, such as field theory, renormalisation group theory and non-equilibrium phase transitions. We will ask how order emerges in and out of thermal equilibrium and how this changes in systems with with disorder. We will complement these theoretical insights with approaches from data science and machine learning that allow identifying collective degrees of freedom in big data. We will synthetise these lessons using examples from ongoing research in biophysics.

This lecture will start with an overview of the physics and the chemistry of the interstellar medium. Then we will focus on molecular clouds and the processes of cloud collapse and star formation. We will discuss the properties of young stellar objects and their circumstellar disks. This is followed by a basic description of the planet formation processes in these disks and the early evolution of terrestrial planets and their atmospheres. We will then also consider the environment of forming stars and planets, and discuss the properties of stellar clusters and associations. In the final chapter, we will first take a look at the formation processes of high-mass stars, and then describe how the very massive stars influence their environment. The lecture concludes with a discussion of the corresponding effects on stars and planets forming in clusters and associations containing high-mass stars, and what this has to do with the origin of our own solar system.
