Скачать или смотреть Giant Experiments Cosmic Questions

Scientists are confronting some of the deepest mysteries they have ever faced, from the nature of dark matter and dark energy to the origins of black holes and how the first stars blazed into light. To answer these questions they are building the biggest experiments in history, from gigantic particle colliders that recreate conditions that existed a less than a microsecond after the Big Bang to continent-spanning radio telescopes that will allow astronomers to peer back to cosmic dawn.

Join comedian and host of the BBC's Infinite Monkey Cage Robin Ince and a panel of leading physicists and astronomers for an exploration of the biggest experiments on Earth and the questions that they will help us answer about the universe. Followed by an audience Q&A.

Host: Robin Ince

Panel: Professor Jon Butterworth (particle physicist), Professor Anna Scaife (radio astronomer), Dr Laura Nuttall (gravitational wave astronomer), Dr Sarah Williams (particle physicist).
