In his talks, Professor Brian Cox discusses the narrative of life, the universe, and everything in between, advocating that science can unite humanity in understanding our shared origins and solving enduring mysteries. He delves into the work at CERN, where cutting-edge technology recreates conditions from a fraction of a nanosecond after the Big Bang to uncover the universe's fundamental simplicity. Brian also explores black holes, which he finds the most fascinating objects, and the conditions on Mars that may have supported life 3.5 billion years ago. Attendees will learn about the potential of science to answer profound questions about our existence.
