About this talk
A chance for non-specialists to learn a bit about the history of the Universe, from the Big Bang to its distant future. Astronomers have pieced together the story of our Universe that begins more than 13 billion years ago with the Big Bang. In this lecture, Nobel Prize winner Prof Brian Schmidt will describe the journey that science has taken thus far to understand our Universe, describing what we know about the cosmos and how we know it, as well as reflecting on some of the mysteries that remain. Chaired by Professor Rob Fender (Professor of Astrophysics, University of Oxford), this lecture is part of Green Templeton's Astronomy for All series, highlighting the college's connections to the University of Oxford Astrophysics sub-department. All welcome, but registration is strongly recommended as capacity is limited.
