About the show

Show Information

The Provocateurs: When silence listens / Galactic archaeology

Can hearing someone you know change brain recovery? Roseminu Varghese (Edinburgh Napier University) reveals how familiar voices influence consciousness in comatose patients and why human connection may be a powerful clinical tool.

The Milky Way hosts billions of stars, but how did they get here and what can they tell us about our galaxy's history? Dr Veronika Dornan (The University of Edinburgh) reveals why our Sun is so lonely and what sausages have to do with galaxy mergers.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
