Description

Astrophysicist Dr Julian Mayers asks whether studying the Universe gives us any insight into earthly matters of life, death and love. Down to earth, accessible, funny and ultimately uplifting, A Cosmologist’s Guide to Life and Love will explore how you can travel in time, what the chances were of you being born, if parallel universes exist, why a physicist should speak at your funeral and how cosmology will ultimately resolve Brexit. Laugh, cry and go 'ooh, that's interesting'.

Amazing! Never been to a show like this and often find anything science related not for me, but this was so interesting and easy to understand. I came away from the show wanting to do more of my own research! I would definitely recommend!
