Talk by Dr Michael Brooks on the science of the multiverse and whether parallel universes exist.
Dr Michael Brooks is coming to Cambridge Junction on Monday 14 December, as part of the Seed Talks series. He'll be talking about the science of the multiverse and whether parallel universes actually exist.
It's a big topic to tackle in one go. The multiverse is one of those ideas that pops up everywhere these days — in sci-fi, in comic book movies, and in the kind of late-night conversations that usually end with everyone agreeing they've had enough to drink. But beneath the pop-culture versions, there's a real scientific conversation going on. The talk is called The Science of the Multiverse: Do parallel universes exist?, and that's exactly what Brooks will be working through: the theories that suggest our universe might be just one of many, and the evidence — or lack of it — that physicists use to argue for or against the idea.
If you've ever wondered where the concept actually comes from, this is a good place to start. It's not just one theory, but several different ways of thinking about how the cosmos might be structured, and Brooks will be breaking them down. It's the kind of thing that's easy to get lost in if you're reading it on your own, so hearing it laid out in person makes a fair bit more sense. Whether you've got a background in science or you're just curious about why people keep talking about parallel versions of themselves, it's a chance to get a proper look at the actual physics behind the headlines.
