Radical Science at CCCB
May 9, 2025
The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) is hosting two conferences as part of the Radical Science series, focused on the origins of the universe and life.
On May 15, Nobel Laureate Didier Queloz and astrobiologist Nathalie Cabrol will discuss the possibility of extraterrestrial life, exploring the more than 5,000 exoplanets discovered and the techniques to detect signs of life in their atmospheres.
The following day, on May 16, astrophysicists Gabriela González and Eugenio Coccia will explore how gravitational wave detection opens new avenues for understanding the cosmos, allowing us to study the early universe and phenomena like black hole mergers.
