About this talk
Join acclaimed physicist and Ri favourite Carlo Rovelli on a journey through the speculative depths of modern physics to explore what our knowledge tells us about the strangeness of reality. We live in a universe where electrons and minds, stones and laws, judgements and galaxies are notions that illuminate each other. Carlo will propose that the best way to understand reality is to view these notions, and reality is better understood as a set of reflections, revealing the equality of all things. Join us for a perspective-shifting evening, as Carlo will invite us to recognise that our knowledge is coherent but also uncertain and circular. There may be no foundations, no hierarchies, but we, who are woven together by thoughts and desires, emotions and dreams, are at one with all things in the world. We are, in a deep sense, at home. Copies of Carlo's book "On The Equality of All Things" will be available for purchase after the talk. This is a theatre and livestream event for an adult audience, where the speakers and audience in the Theatre are joined by the audience online. Doors to the Theatre will open at about 6.50pm. All attendees must be seated in the Theatre by 7.20pm. The Discourse will start promptly at 7.30pm. A Pay Bar will be available from 6.00pm.
