The oldest light in the Universe

In the International Year of Light, join astrophysicist Roberto Trotta to discover what the oldest light in the cosmos, the luminous echo of the Big Bang itself, can tell us about the fundamental nature of the Universe (the 'All-There-Is')... and how you can describe it using only the most common 1,000 words in English! Dr Roberto Trotta is a theoretical cosmologist in the Astrophysics Group of Imperial College London, where he is a senior lecturer in astrophysics. As an STFC Public Engagement Fellow, he also spends a lot of time communicating science, taking part in numerous science festivals and radio broadcasts. He has just written a book which explains the Universe (‘All-There-Is’) using only the most common 1,000 words in English.
