Our Curious Universe - Dr Jennifer Wiseman
St John's College Annual Borderlands Lecture
Recent advances in telescope technology have enabled new incredible discoveries
throughout the universe. Distant infant galaxies are now visible, shining from billions of
years in the past. Closer to home, planets in other star systems are being discovered by the
thousands.New discoveries are also inspiring intriguing questions: Why and how has the
universe become hospitable for life? What would be the nature of life beyond our solar
system? What is the mysterious ubiquitous dark matter and dark energy? And what is the
ultimate fate of the universe and life? Such issues touch on the larger, rich contemplations
beyond science about the relationship of life and humanity to the cosmos.
From lectures, conferences and exhibitions, to concerts, plays and family activities, see our full programme of events on the What's On Guide.
