. @ProfBrianCox & @robinince using coffee & cream to explain how we got from the Big Bang to the universe as we know it today. Fantastic show tonight in @3ArenaDublin - masterclass in communicating complex scientific concepts effectively
@UniversalQandA Given you’re in Dublin, any comments on the legacy / influence of Schrödinger, who lived here for many years & was the first Director of @StpDias?
“9000 people have come out on a Saturday night to chat about #Cosmology - that makes me feel good about the world” - @ProfBrianCox is pleased with the turnout for his Dublin show :)
We’re excited to be @3ArenaDublin tonight for @ProfBrianCox. We know he’s a big fan of #Schrödinger, first Director of @StpDias, so looking forward to seeing if he speaks of Schrödinger‘s time in Dublin...
