1. The Quantum Tamers: Revealing our Weird and Wired Future

Enjoy a 40-minute sneak preview of “The Quantum Tamers” and then engage in conversation with the scientific stars. This new television documentary (set for international release in September) shows how the “weirdness” of tiny sub-atomic particles -that seem to be in two places at once and remain “entangled” over vast distances -may lead to super powerful quantum computers, secret quantum codes, and even quantum teleportation.
Shot in 16 cities in six countries, and using dramatization and animation, The Quantum Tamers brings together over a dozen of the planet’s brightest minds to show how the weird is becoming wired and why a new era of quantum technologies is going to rock our world.

2. The Future of Cosmology – From Theory to Experiment

Cosmology is the study of the evolution of the universe as a whole. It has become one of the most exciting fields of science as new observational technologies enable exquisitely accurate and detailed observations to be made. New generations of particle colliders, neutrino observatories, gravity wave detectors, satellites, telescopes and other devices are about to fuel all new knowledge about the entire cosmos – even dating back to the big bang.

In this session, world-leading scientists will bring you up to the cutting edge of theory and experiment. Find out what novel ideas about the nature of space, time, energy and matter are being probed. Learn why certain experimental results will be newsworthy. Understand how this research will impact our core understanding of the entire universe -and everything in it -for generations to come.
