🌌 How much do we really know about the Universe?

Join us Thursday, September 10 for a journey to the edge of our knowledge with physicist Daniel Whiteson. From the mysteries of the tiniest particles to the size and origin of the entire cosmos—and whether there are aliens out there asking the same questions and finding the same answers—this Dome Talk explores some of the biggest mysteries in modern physics.

Whiteson is a physics professor at UC Irvine and a researcher at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. He is co-host of the podcast Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe and co-author of Do Aliens Speak Physics? and We Have No Idea.

📅 Thursday, September 10
