The Universe, Earth, Life and Human Intelligence. How did it all begin? Throughout history, humans have always asked this question. In this event, researchers will talk about how far science has come to uncover the origin of The Universe, Earth, Life and Human Intelligence. They will also discuss what it means to study the origin of something, moderated by a philosopher to discuss and think about what it means to look for an origin.
