About this Event
We’re delighted to announce we are one of the livestream venues for the first of this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES® from the Royal Institution. Running for 200 years, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES® were started by Michael Faraday to inspire and engage young people with science, and this year leading space scientist physicist, broadcaster and author, Professor Jim Al-Khalili, will tackle the awe-inspiring science of time.
This event is perfect for all the family! Children and people of all ages can come and watch the magic of the Lectures unfold in real time as they’re filmed in front of an audience in the Ri’s Theatre in London. They’ll meet researchers from Queen Mary University of London's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, have the chance to get involved with hands-on activities, and be amazed by the mysteries of the Time.
In this lecture, Jim will investigate the question "What is Time?". Join us at Queen Mary University of London to watch via livestream as Jim swings from the roof of the Royal Institution’s iconic Theatre and smashes crystals as he explores the curious ways we measure time. He'll test whether our brains are good timekeepers and uncover the truth that time may not actually be constant throughout the universe!
