Join Dr Katy Clough and Prof Toby Wiseman as they explore the search for the Theory of Everything - where our current theories succeed, where they fail, and what these cracks might reveal about the true nature of reality.

How can we look beyond the AI models themselves to anticipate what’s about to happen? See my notes on my recent @brighthink.bsky.social discussion with Christopher Summerfield: www.linkedin.com/pulse/strang...

Could they manipulate or deceive you, and if so, what might they make you do?
Whose interests do they represent?
When will they be able to move beyond words and take action in the real world?

A fascinating evening's discussion of Jo's new book - In Search of Now - an attempt to bring together the disciplines of neuroscience, psychology, cosmology and quantum physics to try and capture what it is that we consider to be the 'present moment'

Looking forward to welcoming award-winning writer and broadcaster, Marcus Chown, back to Brighton to discuss his latest book - The One Thing You Need To Know - an accessible guide to the mind-bending, and confounding, scientific ideas you’ve always wanted to understand.

What is 'NOW'?
By the time you finish this sentence, it’s already gone.
In her book, In Search of Now, Jo Marchant explores how science is uncovering the mysteries of this elusive moment - what it means for how we experience time, memory and reality itself.

What a way to wrap up our 2025 season! We had a fabulously fascinating and entertaining talk with Sophie Maycock discussing all things SHARKS! Her obvious, brimming passion and depth of knowledge were infectious, and our audience throughly enjoyed the evening.

Join us in Brigthon on Thurs 27th Nov as marine biologist Sophie Maycock takes a deep dive into the science, beauty and biology, of these often misunderstood creatures. We’ll bust the myths, confront the fears, and reveal how sharks really live and adapt beneath the waves.

Ever since those two iconic notes by John Williams sent swimmers running from the water… sharks have been cast as the villain. But the truth is far more fascinating - and far less frightening.

What if saving a life was as simple as wading into a shallow pond?
Join philosopher David Edmonds as he uncovers how one radical idea sparked the movement of effective altruism and changed how we think about doing good.
