ATLAS Ph.D. award winner Emily Thompsonwith her advisor, DESY Particle Physics Director Beate Heinemann.
The interactive exhibition "How it all began. Of Galaxies, Quarks and Collisions" at the Museum der Arbeit provides exciting insights into the latest scientific findings in particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology. Now the exhibition has been extended until May 7, 2023. An extensive accompanying program invites visitors to, among other things, a midissage in which the perspectives of artists and researchers on the universe meet.
From March 10 to 12, the museum's forecourt will also host the mobile exhibition "Big Bang on the Move." Developed by the Particle World Network in collaboration with DESY, it brings interested people of all ages closer to the fascinating but somewhat complex world of particle physics. In an inflatable tunnel, visitors can meet Big Bang Guides - dedicated young adults from the research center DESY and the University of Hamburg who share their enthusiasm for particle physics and report from their work experience.
On Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at 7 p.m., artists Marcel Große, Tanja Hehmann, Jan Köchermann, Julia Münstermann and Jana Schumacher will meet art scientist Belinda Grace Gardner and elementary particle physicist Christian Schwanenberger to discuss their methods and approaches to the history of the universe during the midissage entitled "Close Encounters - Art meets Science."
The other accompanying program includes lectures and talks with experts as well as special guided tours where Big Bang research can be experienced from an artistic and scientific perspective.
The exhibition "How it all began" itself, accompanied by an extensive program of events, now invites visitors in an interactive way to a search for clues that leads back over 13 billion years to the origin of our universe. Visitors can expect exciting insights into the latest scientific findings from particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology at several themed stations in the exhibition. The unique cooperation project between the Hamburg scientific institutions University of Hamburg / Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe and the research center DESY with the Museum der Arbeit also makes the latest results from the Hanseatic City's top research visible and comprehensible for visitors.
Further information and the entire accompanying program can be found on the pages of the exhibition.
Sponsors of the exhibition "How it all began. Of Galaxies, Quarks and Collisions" is sponsored by the Joachim Herz Foundation and the Authority for Science, Research and Equality.
