This Saturday at 6:15pm BST in the Main Hall of the Cheltenham Town Hall I’ll be discussing our collective fascination with bending and warping time within science fiction at the Cheltenham Science Festival. I’ll be talking at The Nature of Time in Science Fiction event alongside brilliant Physicist Jim Al-Khalili, who has worked with the BBC on a number of projects and Academy Award-winning visual effect expert Paul Franklin, who has worked on mind-bending films like Interstellar and Inception.
There are still tickets available for the Event, you can get your tickets here. Highly recommend visiting the Festival in Cheltenham for all things STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). I’ll be visiting some interesting events before and after The Nature of Time in Science Fiction event. See you there!
“Whether it’s Back to the Future or Groundhog Day, time has inspired countless films, books and TV. But why are we obsessed with the nature of time?”
Whether it’s Back to the Future or Groundhog Day, time has inspired countless films, books and TV. But why are we obsessed with the nature of time? Physicist Jim Al-Khalili talks to Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls, and Academy Award-winning visual effect expert Paul Franklin, who has worked on Interstellar and Inception. Together they discuss how time has and continues to shape science fiction.
