Copernicus Festival 2022

Information

How is access to information changing our perception of reality? Do we actually live in information bubbles, sustained by social media? What truths about the world does one cubit contain? By studying the information stored in genes, can we predict the future of our species? These and other questions were answered by guests of Copernicus Festival 2022: Information.
