Origins: The Cosmos in Verse (Professor Joseph Conlon – University of Oxford)
Physics, with rhythm and rhyme as never before. A unique physics-cum-poetry performance that reaches from the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics to galaxies to exploding stars to tell these stories of how things began and the scientists who gifted us this knowledge. I focus on the origin of the elements — through the process of nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang, stars and supernovae — and the origin of the galaxies through cosmic inflation.
Joseph Conlon is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford and the author of approximately 80 scientific papers. His research covers string theory, particle physics, cosmology, axions in the hunt for the fundamental laws of physics. He is the author of Why String Theory? (CRC, 2016) and Origins: The Cosmos in Verse (Oneworld, 2024).
