Our Place in the Universe in a Lecture at the BA
Posted on
Alexandria—the Planetarium Science Center (PSC) will organize on Tuesday, 3 April 2007, a lecture entitled "Our Place in the Universe" by Dr. John Barrow, Professor of Mathematical Sciences. The lecture deals with the modern picture of the expanding universe and shows how its large scale properties are necessary for the existence of life within it.
He also introduces the theory of the inflationary universe along with the empirical evidence that supports it. One of the striking consequences of this theory is the prediction that our visible universe is a small part of a complex multiversity.
The lecture will start at 9:00 hrs. at the Lectures Hall, BA Conference Center.
