It's not a very cheerful idea. All those beautiful galaxies that we see now will no longer be visible in the distant future. What's going on? Ralph Wijers has the explanation for this phenomenon, although he doesn't really have a solution for the pizza that is delivered during the lecture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 will 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!
