So you already thought the universe was impressively large? While you are watching this lecture, the universe has expanded even further! Astronomer Ralph Wijers makes you forget all forms of time and space for a moment and shows you exactly how the universe is expanding. Exciting! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week in the University of the Netherlands: Astronomer Prof. Dr. Ralph Weijers! A big bang of a drumbeat: Prof. Dr. Ralph Wijers from the University of Amsterdam returns to the University of the Netherlands in the third season! Wijers is a professor of High Energy Astrophysics and affiliated with the Astronomical Anton Pannekoek Institute. He is going to 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 workday 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!
