Various questions such as “Can electrons walk through walls? What do atoms look like? Why does matter have a mass? How can the sky be used as a laboratory?” will be answered by the scientist during the lecture.
The lecture is divided into two parts. In the first part titled “A Brief History of the Universe: From the Big Bang to the Present”, Prof Suprit Singh will take the students on a tour of the universe from its beginnings. While the second part, to be delivered by Prof Iyer and Prof Sharma, will talk about the world of elementary particles.
Commenting on the fourth lecture, IIT Delhi scientists said, “One of the fundamental challenges of the human race is to understand nature in all its manifestations. This includes objects as large as galaxies and stars to the fundamental particles like the electrons. Over the past several centuries, our understanding has undergone a process of steady evolution. This talk will attempt to retrace the important steps in this progression and eventually lead to our understanding today.”
