THURSDAY 23 JUNE 2022 | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT | ON-DEMAND   Join leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Tony Padilla for an irreverent cosmic tour of the most extraordinary numbers in physics, using them to build a picture of how the universe works.  Tony will demonstrate how these numbers – from the brazenly big to the suspiciously small are the key to unlocking such mind-bending phenomena as black holes, the holographic truth and the problem of the cosmological constant. Combining cutting-edge science with an entertaining cosmic quest, Tony will present an electrifying, head-twisting guide to the most fundamental truths of the universe.

Talks in this series include:  The origin of the universe with Will Kinney, Professor of Physics Thursday 14 July 2022 | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT & on-demand  In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In this talk, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe: cosmic inflation, before the primordial fire of the Big Bang.  FIND OUT MORE Space, time and motion with Sean Carroll, Research Professor of Physics Thursday 20 October 2022  | 6-7pm BST | 1 -2 pm EDT & on-demand  Join Sean Carroll as he explains the equations that revolutionised physics, leading to the theory of relativity and the prediction of black holes. ‘Where, when and how?’ are some of the most fundamental questions we can ask, and knowledge of space, time and motion has been central to the biggest discoveries in physics.   Sean will explore deep questions about the nature of space, time and change, laying out the framework of classical physics from Galileo and Euclid to Newton and Einstein. FIND OUT MORE Memory, the brain and who we are  with Veronica O'Keane, Professor of Psychiatry Thursday 10 November 2022| 6-7pm GMT | 1-2pm EST & on-demand In this talk, psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane will draw on examples of the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain.   How do our brains store—and then conjure up—past experiences to make us who we are? Why can memories feel so real? Are there such things as ‘true’ and ‘false’ memories? These examples will offer a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.
