8pm Friday 27th May we are very lucky to have Dr Chris Lassig, particle physicist & science communicator, coming to talk to us about “Parallel Worlds and the Multiverse”!
Once it was fringe, sci-fi speculation, but recent developments in modern physics mean that parallel universes are increasingly being seen as inevitable. These range from uncountable duplicate Earths in the infinite space of cosmic inflation, to the higher-dimensional landscape of realities in superstring theory, and the quantum possibilities of alternative timelines. With speculation that it might even be possible to detect evidence for these many worlds, what does it mean for the way we view reality and practise science?
Chris Lassig, a theoretical particle physicist and turned science communicator, will be providing a stellar talk on the relatively probable theories and concepts on Parallel Words and the Multiverse – don’t miss out!
Chris also spoke last year at the Astronomy and Light in Victoria festival at Scienceworks!
