April 6 and 7, I will be in South Africa to give a couple of talks at Stellenbosch and Pretoria Universities.

There is a public talk at Stellebosch university on the 6th, and here is the link.

Looking forward to it!

Last week, I was invited by one of my favorite bookshops on Earth: Shakespeare and Company, in Paris.

Here is my interview with the brilliant Adam Biles. First time I’ve ever had to read my own book out loud 🙂

If you’d like to know more about gravity, quantum physics, the origin of our universe and black holes, here is the video of the Intelligence Squared event I did with Carlo Rovelli, hosted by Helen Czerski.

Royal Geographical Society – July 18, 2016

And I love the cover 🙂

Whether you like Sundays or not, if you fancy travelling throughout the known (and unknown) universe, join me on Sunday 12 June, at 8pm in Cheltenham!

Infos and tickets can be found and booked here.

For a quick introduction to the expansion of the universe, there you go!

From Jeff Schechtman’s blog:

“For better or worse, particularly for those of us here in the Bay Area, we have come to think of science in rather utilitarian terms. A better phone, a better app, or a better car.

In fact science, especially theoretical physics, is or should be the real lens through which we see the world. It is our understanding of the larger universe that shapes how we see our place in it and that more than the latest gadget, shapes our times.

It’s why we need to understand that world and why we need guides along the way like Stephen Hawking and Christophe Galfard. Galfard, a protege of Hawking and has just published The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond.”

The podcast of my conversation with Jeff Schechtman can be found on Jeff’s blog, here.
