Monthly Meeting: Dr. Steve Barrett – “The End of Everything”

Friday, 17th November 2023 @ 19:00 21:00 GMT

An image of a mysterious, black void surrounded by a white ring, perhaps an event horizon? Innumerable streamers are coming from the surface of the ring, like electricity. There is no scale given, so we could br seeing anthing from a proton to a super-massive black hole. The image is energetic! It says "The End of Everything" : "The fate of the Earth, the Sun, …and the Universe"

The November 2023 monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2023-2024 session will be held on Friday, November 17th from 19:00 to 21:00.

Free

Members of the public are welcome to attend (for free), but please consider joining our Society if you attend more than two monthly meetings.


Our guest speaker this month is Dr. Steve Barrett, Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool.

This talk follows from last November’s talk, The Beginning of Everything

The title of the lecture is:

The End of Everything

This time last year, we looked at origin of the Universe. Now, we look forward… to its end… Will the Universe expand forever? Will it create too much matter and collapse in on itself? Find out soon…
