The Uncertain Promise of New Physics

29 April, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Speaker: Dr Harry Cliff
Cambridge University

Dr Harry Cliff is an experimental particle physicist, and acclaimed science presenter, based at the University of Cambridge.
At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, he conducts research with the LHCb experiment (which amongst other things, will shed light on why we live in a universe that appears to be composed almost entirely of matter, but no antimatter) He is also a past curator at the Science Museum.

The Uncertain Promise of New Physics will open the door to the inexplicable phenomena that science has only recently glimpsed, and that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. Particles with unbelievable energies are bursting from beneath the Antarctic ice. Unknown forces seem to be tugging on the basic building blocks of matter. Stars are flying away from us far faster than anyone can explain. It’s a Pandora’s box of Space Oddities.

Let Harry open your eyes and minds and shake your current perceptions in this gentle ride through the rough terrain of scientific discovery.
