The Science of Space: Black Holes and Beyond

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.
