Event description

In this public talk, geared towards a general audience, two recent Nobel Prize recipients, Peebles and Penrose, will offer autobiographical retrospectives on their journey towards solving some of the most profound questions in cosmology. Whereas Peebles adopted an empirical approach, learning about the universe by modelling the data, Penrose focused on understanding more deeply the physical laws and their implications. This interactive, “in conversation” event will provide unique insights into how and why these two different approaches have succeeded.

Online participation possible.
