About this Event

Journey with us from the Beecroft Art Gallery into the darkest corners of the cosmos, as part of our free, four part lecture series 'The Science of Space'.


What would it feel like to fall into a black hole? What are gravitational waves? Will we ever unlock the mystery of the singularity? This talk introduces these monsters of the cosmos; discussing their formation, detection, and the 'stranger than fiction' phenomena of time-dilation and spaghettification.

This talk is accessible for ages 10+. Older children and adults will enjoy this talk, children younger than 10 are welcome, but some may struggle with understanding the content.

Tickets are free, but prebooking is recommended. Please note that tickets are per person attending the talk. Every attendee will need a ticket.


Robert Clemenson is a theoretical physics researcher and lecturer based at the University of Sussex and Royal Holloway, University of London. His research focusses on models of the Universe involving extra spatial dimensions, and dark matter.
