Professor Brian Greene is an American theoretical physicist and string theorist who examines whether a multiverse, or several multiverses might exist. A multiverse is essentially a hypothetical set of infinite or finite possible universes, or parallel or alternative Universe’s, that can also be a version or versions of the universe that we consistently experience. Professor Greene discusses the latest ‘multiverse’ thinking and also how he uses fragments of past knowledge to try and create a single, unified pattern.

Professor Jackie Akhavan is  Professor of Explosive Chemistry, Centre for Defence Chemistry, Cranfield School  of Defence and Security in the UK and  explains how different  explosions works, what they tell us and explores the latest technology used to create and detect explosions and explosives.

Dr Brian Dillon teaches critical writing in art and design at The Royal College of Art in London and explores fragmentation in art, literature and especially ruined buildings which have inspired and engaged artists over many centuries.

Professor Jackie Akhaven would like to see humans with eyes which are similar to cat’s eyes, so that we are able to see in the dark. This would have a great impact on energy consumption because we would no longer need any lights at night.
