Professor Brian Cox

Having set two Guinness World Records with his previous sell-out World Tour, Professor Brian Cox is back in the U.S. with his sell-out tour HORIZONS.

Horizons has taken over 400,000 people spanning three continents on a dazzling journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become. Using state of the art screen technology, venues across the world have been filled with spectacular images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and the latest theories on the origin of the Universe. 

 

What is the nature of space and time? How did life begin, how rare might it be and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a finite fragile life in an infinite eternal Universe? Having travelled the world, it’s now time to bring Horizons to the US for a journey around our magnificent and baffling Universe.  

Horizons – A 21st Century Space Odyssey is a celebration of our civilisation, of our music, art, philosophy and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore Nature with humility and to value ourselves and our fellow human beings.

‘Science and cosmology doesn’t get any more dazzling and interesting than this – a wonderful journey through space and time orchestrated by Professor Brian Cox.’ —Daily Echo

'Stunning’ — Liverpool Echo

‘Is your brain hurting yet? Because mine certainly was, but in beautifully, mind-expanding sort of way…We came away with a new found of love of the basics of science and maths, and a thirst to learn more’ — Express and Star
