OUR INCOMPLETE UNIVERSE: The Search for the Theory of Everything
Details
ADVANCE TICKETS are available at EVENTBRITE.
We know how the Universe works - at least, we think we do!
On the largest scales, gravity shapes galaxies and bends space-time. On the smallest, quantum mechanics governs a strange world of uncertainty and probability. Both frameworks are extraordinarily successful.
There’s just one problem: they don’t work together.
This tension sits at the heart of modern physics. When we try to describe extreme environments - black holes, the Big Bang - our best theories break down. So what’s missing? Is space-time truly fundamental, or something that emerges from deeper laws? Is our Universe the only one, or just one of many?
In the search for a “Theory of Everything,” physicists are exploring bold ideas — from string theory to multiverses, even the possibility that reality itself may be more surprising than we imagine.
Join Dr Katy Clough and Prof Toby Wiseman for a fascinating conversation at the frontier of physics. Together, they’ll explore where our current theories succeed, where they fail, and what these cracks might reveal about the true nature of reality.
The chair for this event is Anish Ghoshal.**
This event will take place upstairs in The Nightingale Room at The Grand Central Pub, Brighton. Unfortunately there is no wheelchair access available at this venue.
