Presentation by Dr Matt Bothwell, 25 May 2022

Dr Matt Bothwell, author of The Invisible Universe, is an astronomer and science communicator from The Institute of Astronomy and the Kavli Institute for Cosmology in Cambridge. Matt delivered a fascinating, educational and yet still very down-to-earth presentation on the subject of The Big Bang and the expansion of the Universe.

Everyone had a great time, and Matt was happy to take questions and have a discussion with the club on the topics he presented. Some fantastic questions were raised, common misconceptions blown away, and plenty of knowledge shared. Thank you, Matt, for a great evening.
