To Infinity and Beyond - Professor Ian Morison
An overview of the development of cosmology over the last 100 years from the Big Bang models of the Universe to the astounding revelation of recent years in that we have no real understanding of 96% of its content! Or even that our Universe could just be one small part of a Multiverse that extends beyond our imagination! http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/to-infinity-and-beyondCollected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison May 11, 2011 -

Proving Einstein right! - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures
A gentle introduction to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity discussing gravitational waves and the curvature of space and how, since 1915, experiments have been undertaken to test its accuracy. Recent observations by Jodrell Bank astronomers have shown that Einstein's theory must be at least 99.95% right!Collected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison Mar 16, 2011 -
Beauty in the Heavens - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures

This lecture explains how such phenomena arise, describes what we can see and gives details of upcoming eclipses.Collected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison Mar 16, 2011 -
50 years of the Lovell telescope - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures
A topical lecture about an icon of British science and technology as it passes its 50th anniversary.

Watchers of the skies - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures
How our knowledge and understanding of the universe has increased over the centuries so that we now have a surprisingly accurate idea of its size, age and makeup - much of it unseen in the form of dark matter and dark energy! All our lectures are available for free download from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats: http://www.gresham.ac.uk Gresham College professors and guest speakers have been giving free public lectures in central London since 1597.Collected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison Mar 16, 2011 -
Colour in the Cosmos - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures
The wonderful colour images that we now have - many from the Hubble Space telescope - of nebulae, stars and galaxies can tell us much about the Universe. The lecture will present some of the very best and show what we can learn from them.Collected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison Mar 16, 2011
