The Big Bang, Time Travel, and Black Holes – with Geraint Lewis and Luke Barnes

Published on: 4th January, 2023

Is time travel possible? What does a black hole actually do to light? What does ‘galactic cannibalism’ mean?

Honour de Pledge speaks to Geraint Lewis and Luke Barnes, authors of ‘A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos’ and ‘The Cosmic Revolutionary’s Handbook: (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang)’ about a tiny, simple, easily explainable topic...how the universe works!
