Secrets of the Universe – Hiding in Plain Sight? Neil Turok Public Lecture

How did the universe begin? How did it evolve to what we see now? There was a time when few people believed such questions could even be posed in scientific terms. Now, as increasingly precise instruments deliver their treasure trove of data, the answers may be within reach. On Wednesday, October 25, Perimeter Director Emeritus […]
