Can science answer all the big questions of existence, including our place in the world, the origin of the laws of nature, and aspects of morality? To do so, Peter Atkins separates the real questions from those invented by theologians and philosophers.
After covering maths, physics, biomedicine and psychology, the great science conference, aimed at a non-specialist audience, has invited a renowned researcher from the field of chemistry: Peter Atkins, a professor at the University of Oxford, and specialist in science communication, to discuss the role of science in answering existential questions: Where do we come from? How did everything begin? How can the laws of physics and chemistry help us understand the passage from nothingness to being?
Every year, we dedicate a month to science and education. We hold interviews and debates with leading international and national figures, who bring the latest scientific research and learning news to the public. Everything is covered, from the universe to biology, from the brain to food and from reading to memory.
