About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

    Black holes are one of the strangest and most fascinating things in the universe. They are massively heavy, with gravity so strong that even light can’t escape them. When they collide, they release such huge amounts of energy that they send ripples through spacetime itself. But what actually are black holes, how do they even come into being, and what can they teach us about physics and the nature of the universe?

    In this out-of-this-world talk from astrophysicist Dr Amelie Saintonge, you will hear all about the mind bending theories behind black holes, and the latest scientific discoveries. You will be amazed not just by the incredible universe we live in, but also by the impressively creative feats of engineering we humans have devised to unlock the secrets of these cosmic beasts!

    Live stream opens at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm
