BURN’S NIGHT AT BARNSDALE LODGE
Horizons takes audiences on a dazzling cinematic journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become. What is the nature of space and time? Why does the Universe exist? How did life begin, how rare might it be and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a small, finite life in a vast, eternal Universe? The deepest of questions will be explored using the latest advances in our understanding of quantum theory, black holes, biology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology. Prof Brian Cox explains all in this live show.
