Come along to Imperial Lates! Step into a free evening of timely science, art and entertainment exploring the mysteries and mechanics of time: from the birth of the universe to the future of time-saving tech.
Get ready to dive into the many ways time shapes our lives, our planet and our understanding of reality. From the ticking of atomic clocks to the tempo of biodiversity loss, discover how Imperial researchers are measuring, manipulating and making the most of time.
Take a quantum leap into the past with a talk on the first second after the Big Bang, then fast-forward to the future with a look at how digital twins and graphene sensors are helping us make quicker, smarter decisions. Slow things down and get creative with dance classes that explore our personal experience of time, or relax while making your very own twisted-time Christmas decorations.
Think quantum computers are faster than classical ones? Find out in a series of short talks that separate fact from fiction. Then test your own time knowledge in the Tick-tock-trivia quiz, featuring time travelling pop culture conundrums, and a guest round from the engineers behind the world’s most accurate clock.
Throw in a DJ set from West London’s Rhythm Studio, lightning-fast talks, hands-on workshops, art installations, and tasty street food and drinks from the bar, and you’ve got yourself a night that’s truly About Time.
