Dennis Sciama at 100: George Ellis explores the frontiers of cosmology at SISSA

Is the Universe finite or infinite? Is it unique? Why does it allow life to exist? Is there intelligent life elsewhere? These are some of the questions at the heart of the Colloquium entitled ‘The Nature of the Universe: What We Know and What We Don’t Know’ which will be delivered by cosmologist George Ellis, Emeritus Professor at the University of Cape Town and Fellow of the Royal Society, on 18 November at 3.30 pm in the ‘Paolo Budinich’ Main Lecture Hall at SISSA.
