Royal Institution talk – Battle of the Big Bang

Members might be interested in this event which is being held at the Royal Institution on Sat 28 June from 7.00pm – 8.30pm

In this talk, astrophysicist Niayesh Afshordi will explore the fierce scientific debates over cosmic origins, revealing how modern cosmologists are rethinking the Big Bang itself. He will discuss the latest theories, including his own leading-edge research, that challenge the traditional narrative: was the Universe born from a black hole? Does time extend before the Big Bang? Could our cosmos be part of a vast multiverse or an eternal cycle of rebirth?

Science is not just about equations – it’s about people, rivalries, and radical ideas. Join Niayesh and colleague Phil Halper for a journey through the evolving frontiers of cosmology and the search for the true origins of our universe.
