Cosmology addresses some of the most fundamental questions in science. How did our universe begin? What is it made of? How did galaxies form? There has been enormous progress towards answering these questions and a coherent picture of cosmic evolution, back to a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang, is beginning to emerge. Black holes play an important role in galaxy evolution, and they are also intriguing objects to study in detail. Durham’s collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences spans a whole range of scales, from understanding what happens to material very close to a black hole, to the structure of our universe across cosmic time.Event details
