Big Bang and Black Holes

[TheGreenGoblin]

For all the cosmology/physics geeks here...

On January 8th 2021 Professor Hawking’s birthday, two online public outreach lectures about the science of our Universe will be delivered by Professor Sir Roger Penrose, recipient of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, and Professor Eiichiro Komatsu, Director of the Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich.

The lecture is organized by the Stephen Hawking Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge, in conjunction with the Ludwig-Maximillian University, Munich, as part of the Cambridge-LMU Strategic Collaboration.

After both lectures there will be an opportunity for members of the public to ask the speakers about the really big questions live! When the event concludes, questions will continue to be answered by a panel of young experts – postdoctoral fellows and PhD students – who will remain on the livestream to respond to points left from the lecture Q & A sessions.

These lectures are supported by the Stephen Hawking Foundation and Intel Corporation.

Time: Friday, 8 January 2021 from 18:00 UTC-20:00 UTC
Hosted by the University of Cambridge

It's also William Hartnell's birthday, so he shares the day with Dr Who.

An excuse for that wonderful theme tune...
