Description

What is expanding space? What came before the big bang? Is there an edge to space? What’s beyond the horizon of a black hole? What can the amazing images from the James Webb Space Telescope tell us?

When I'm having a chat with family and friends, these are the questions I’m asked.

So upgrade your repertoire for cocktail party conversation by learning about these and other cosmological conundrums. You’ll deep dive into the foundations of our cosmological model, mixed in with the latest updates on dark energy, black holes, and gravitational waves.
