The Public Science Lectures December 13, 2011 Boston University College of Arts & Sciences

Max Tegmark, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

With a cosmic flight simulator, Professor Max Tegmark takes the audience on a scenic journey through space and time. After exploring the local Galactic neighborhood, he travels 13.7 billion years back to explore the Big Bang itself and describes how state-of-the-art measurements are transforming our understanding of our cosmic origin and ultimate fate. And of course, he explains parallel universes.
