Wijers is a professor of High Energy Astrophysics and affiliated with the Astronomical Anton Pannekoek Institute. He will separate fact from fiction surrounding the Big Bang. How can the entire universe come into being from nothing? And what are the nonsense stories surrounding the Big Bang? Ralph Weijers can tell you all about it. Want to know more?

Every working day a new lecture is posted online, and every week a new professor. Attend a recording? You can! Four evenings a month we record lectures in Club AIR, Amsterdam, and you can be there. During such an evening we record five lectures of fifteen minutes, followed by Q&A and meet and greet (because by then the professor is a rock star). Highly recommended!
