Brian Cox: Emergence! 🪐

The Space Society is incredibly excited to announce that we are going to see Brian Cox! After performing his smash-hit show Horizons to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new world tour Emergence. Thanks to our sponsors at ScienceKind, a platform for dialogue between scientists and the public, Space Society members will attend the show alongside four accomplished scientists of astronomy and astrobiology! After the show there will be a social at the nearby pub called the Stargazer (quite the perfect name!) where students have the opportunity to discuss and question the show with the scientists. It will be a night of incredible visuals and talks - Professor Cox has named it his " most ambitious live show ever written"! 

Tickets will be £10 for members and £15 for non members (though a membership is £5!). Tickets will drop closer to the date of the show, October 23rd. Join us to watch for sales and other exciting events! 

We are excited to invite Professor Ofer Lahav (Perron Chair of Astronomy UCL, research area is Observational Cosmology), Professor Keyon Hickman-Lewis (Birkbeck Astrobiology), Professor Kabir Husain (UCL Astronomy and Physics), and Professor Ian Crawford (Birkbeck Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences)! 

'Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe – the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web – to Earth’s interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain – from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity. 

Professor Brian Cox said: “I’ve loved creating Emergence - it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about."
