Science & Cocktails og DR Koncerthuset præsenterer stolt en aften med den verdensberømte astrofysiker og kosmolog Katie Mack, der vil fortælle om alle mulige måder, universet kan ende på. Inden da kan du købe en rygende drink i baren og opleve Solskin, der vil optræde med en fusion af progressiv jazz-musik.
What do we know about the history of the universe? How do we know the universe will end? What are some of the possibilities for the end of the universe? How are astronomers studying our cosmic future? How does experimental physics help us understand the fate of the cosmos?
The Big Bang Theory tells the story of the beginning of the universe, our cosmic home for the last 13.8 billion years. But how does the story end? This evening Katie Mack will share what modern astrophysics tells us about the fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.
Event held in English with the generous support of the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Solskin's sound is a fusion of North/West African traditions, South American 60s vibes, a touch of progressive rock, and Nordic jazz. From the first glimmer of sunrise to the last warm colors of sunset, Solskin invites the listener to catch a musical sunbeam and let its warmth surround them.
