What was the big bang? How did the theory of our world's beginning become common scientific currency? And who were the trailblazers who broke the galaxy's secret code of life? The acclaimed writer and broadcaster explains ALL.
Science writer and broadcaster Simon Singh talks about his latest book, "Big
Bang", a history of cosmology. As well as explaining what the Big Bang
theory actually is, Simon will recount the story of the brilliant and
eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal
and unchanging cosmos. The lecture is likely to include references to Led
Zeppelin and the Teletubbies.
