Św. Wawrzyńca 15, 31-060 Kraków

Scientists and popularizers known from the YouTube channel “Copernicus” and our invited guests will talk in 10-minute mini-lectures about the mysteries of the universe, life and the mind – both big and small – that have been bothering them. Among other things, we will listen about how to find happiness in a relationship, whether black holes devour information, whether children should be taught to count on their fingers, how heat flows on the nano scale, and whether it is worth believing that mathematical theorems exist independently of us.
