World Science U Adds Masters of the Cosmos Program
Due to popular demand for the sold-out program World Science U for a Day, World Science U has added Masters of the Cosmos, a half-day immersive experience with three of the world’s most renowned cosmologists.
Participants include: Alan Guth, Andrei Linde, Michael Turner
June 1, 2014; 9:00 AM–12:30 PM
Many practitioners have christened ours the golden age of cosmology. Once a field founded on speculation, cosmology has become a data-driven science in which theories of the universe’s origin and evolution must now account for detailed and precise observations.
World Science U has assembled some of the world’s most celebrated leaders in developing such theories, for an intense half-day program aimed at the serious enthusiast who seeks an immersion that goes beyond a popular-level presentation.
Modeled on World Science U, the just-launched digital initiative of the World Science Festival, this live program is a rare opportunity for 60 people to learn from the very scientists who have shaped our generation’s most lasting contributions to cosmological thought.
Please note: While this program does not have formal prerequisites, a portion of the material presented will make use of algebra and basic calculus.
