The Other End of a Black Hole with James Beacham

Dr. James Beacham is a particle physicist with the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Live streaming on the social media of the Muse, he'll talk about black holes and other dimensions. A unique opportunity, broadcast for the first time in Italy, that will take us to the borders of the Universe and knowledge.

Meetings and conferences

What would happen if you fell into a black hole? Would you be vaporized? Crushed into a point? Stretched into spaghetti? Or would you emerge at the other end to a new world - perhaps a new universe?  
Join Dr. James Beacham, particle physicist at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, as he explores what happens when the fabric of reality - physical or societal - gets twisted beyond recognition, and what this means for you, now and in the future. 

 Online event only on Facebook page  and YouTube channel  of the museum.

The event is promoted by MUSE - Science Museum and IBSA Foundation for scientific research for the "Researchers' Night 2020", concept by the European Commission that involves thousands of researchers and research institutions in all European countries every year.

The event will open on Friday 27 November at 10.30 with a moment dedicated to high schools entitled "What's Outside the Universe?": a webinar between science and philosophy (in English), promoted by MUSE, IBSA Foundation and sponsored by the Bruno Kessler Foundation, which will see James Beacham talking about the great enigmas of the Universe with FBK philosopher Paolo Costa and science journalist Elisabetta Curzel.

 

James Beacham

Dr. James Beacham is a particle physicist searching for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012.
