Prof Brian Cox

布萊恩屆時將以超高像素 LED 屏幕技術,把最先進、從地基望遠鏡和太空探測器所拍得的圖形、圖像,用作探索人類對不同星球的最新任務、從宇宙大爆炸以至黑洞看時空的本質,並探討宇宙萬物的起源、命運及智慧。他也會解答有關科學價值、我們如何獲得科學知識,及我們爲何需要信任它這些問題。

不論大家是一個飽覽科學群書的讀者,或從未涉足這個領域的人士,UNIVERSAL 都會帶來最新的科學發現和讓大家可感受的概念;探索從地球到穹蒼邊陲、可能是個浩瀚無垠的宇宙;這演講也會激發觀衆對我們作爲人類以至對地球在星河中的價值作出深思。

Professor Brian Cox said “We live at a pivotal time for our civilisation. We have access to an ever-increasing library of knowledge about nature and understand a great deal about the fundamental laws that govern our Universe. Science has extended and enriched our lives beyond imagination, and yet we are living through a time of great danger, with cynicism and suspicion of scientific knowledge on the rise. I believe very strongly that astronomy and cosmology deliver a vital perspective on our place in the Universe; we are at once tiny and fragile and yet filled with potential and value, and my ambition is for UNIVERSAL to be an exploration of our knowledge and a celebration of our humanity.”

Brian is one of the preeminent physicists in the world and is Professor of Particle Physics at The University of Manchester, The Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science and a Fellow of the Royal Society. As a broadcaster, he has presented a number of highly acclaimed science programmes for the BBC, boosting the popularity of subjects such as astronomy and physics and garnering a host of accolades, including two Royal Television Society awards and a Peabody Award for Wonders of The Solar System. He has also authored a series of best-selling books, including the widely acclaimed Human Universe and most recently, Universal: A Guide to the Cosmos, and is recognised as the foremost communicator for all things scientific. His critically acclaimed BBC series, Forces of Nature, aired in 2016 and he co-hosts Stargazing Live in the UK and Australia.
