Curved spacetime, black holes, and the evolutionary history of the Universe speak immensely to the imagination of the general public as well as science enthusiasts, and yet physics is still perceived as a discipline only accessible for the intellectual elite. Gideon sets out to show that physics is as fun and understandable as it is tremendously exciting, and it is high time we make nature’s mysteries accessible to all.Gideon will let us in on the secret that nature repeats the same rules over and over again, so that once we understand one case, we can understand more abstract areas too. He will prepare you to fully appreciate, and understand, the exciting discoveries that are coming our way in the next few years.The event is run in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri's <a href="https://www.rigb.org/terms-and-conditions" title="https://www.rigb.org/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event terms and conditions.</a>And as we're always trying to understand more about you our audiences at the Ri, you'll notice we've introduced some optional questions when booking tickets.
