81: To Infinity And Beyond!

 

Live from the York Festival of Ideas!

Live and online at the York Festival of Ideas 2021, Emily and Chris discuss infinities. Is the Universe infinite? What does that even mean? Does it go on forever in all directions? Does it bend back on itself? Is it a multidemonsional doughnut or saddle? And will it last forever? How big is infinity, anyway?

Syzygy is produced by Chris Stewart and co-hosted by Dr Emily Brunsden from the Department of Physics at the University of York.
