Imagine coming face to face with cosmic puzzles so big that they defy our understanding of time and space. What happens when two neutron stars collide and trigger a kilonova - one of the most spectacular flashes of light in the universe? How can black holes that engulf everything around them also reveal the most beautiful secrets about the structure of the universe? This evening, astrophysicist Albert Sneppen and editor-in-chief Jonas Kuld Rathje invite you into the heart of the cosmos.
Based on their bestseller "Sorte huller: Jagten på universets smukke hemmeligheder", Sneppen and Kuld Rathje take you on a fascinating journey through some of the most exciting discoveries in modern astrophysics. Albert Sneppen will share his insights into the extreme physics of black holes, how the expansion of the universe works, and why kilonovae play a central role in understanding our cosmic history. Together with Jonas Kuld Rathje, he explores the questions that drive scientists around the world: What happens in the collisions between neutron stars? What do these cosmic events tell us about the laws of gravity? And what black holes lurk on the horizon?
Join us as science and fascination meet in a conversation that will not only broaden your horizons - but also your understanding of the forces that shape our universe.
After the talk, there will be an opportunity to sign the book "Sorte huller: Jagten på universets smukke hemmeligheder" by Albert Sneppen and Jonas Kuld Rathje
Albert Sneppen is an award-winning astrophysicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of black holes and cosmic explosions as a young scientist. His work has attracted international attention and cemented him as one of Denmark's most promising researchers.
Jonas Kuld Rathje is editor-in-chief and a passionate communicator who manages to make complex topics understandable and engaging for everyone with sharp questions and vivid stories. With their joint book as the centrepiece, these two are the perfect pair to open the door to the deepest mysteries of the universe.
