Two physicists from different generations meet on stage for the first time in this talk, moderated by Jonas Kuld Rathje, chief editor of the Danish tech and science outlet Ingeniøren. Holger Bech Nielsen is professor emeritus at the Niels Bohr Institute and is known for his groundbreaking work in theoretical particle physics, particularly string theory. Albert Sneppen is a PhD student at the same institute and has drawn considerable international attention for his work on how light behaves near black holes.
The evening ranges from the smallest atoms to the largest star clusters, touching on particles moving at the speed of light, black holes where time almost stands still, and new discoveries in ancient galaxies. Rathje, who co-wrote books with both Holger and Albert, guides the conversation, so expect a mix of cosmic wonder and lively debate.
