How the world will end

Wednesday 5th December: Boris Gaensicke

You might think we know nothing of how the world will end, but astrophysicist Boris Gaensicke explains that we know an awful lot! He will take you onto a tour into the distant future of our solar system as we catch a glimpse of our future by observing other planetary systems that have already evolved that far. How, and when will the world end? Come along to find out!

Physics Tricks and Flying Frogs!

Wednesday 12th December: Rachel Edwards and Andy Howes

Liquid nitrogen and magnetic fields are tools that physicists at Warwick
use daily. Join Dr Rachel and her sidekick Super Andy as she investigates the
important questions of the day: What happens if you freeze a balloon
animal in liquid nitrogen? How can explosions help to generate very
large magnetic fields? And just how do you levitate a frog?

Suitable for anyone over 10 years old.
