Weirdest Object in the Universe

It's science talks with a competitive edge!

Join a fun, lighthearted game show where three scientists from Imperial College London make their case for the weirdest thing in the universe. From body spaghettifying black holes, to spooky quantum particles and the mysteries of human consciousness, hear their claims and cast your vote.

This event is one of the Spotlight Talks, and there will be advance tickets released for this event closer to the Festival weekend. 

If you have an advance ticket, please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access, however, as this is a free event we overbook to help ensure a full event and your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk.
