The University Lecture theatres are CLOSED. This is an online Zoom meeting
Our Speaker for November 2021 is
Paul Fellows
His talk is entitled
“Quark Stars and Strange Matter” – The usual story told of the end stage of giant stars is that they either finish up as a neutron star or collapse completely to a black hole. However, in this talk Paul looks at the possibility for other extremely exotic forms of matter which may add to the picture – and how the latest observations seem to back up these ideas.
