On February 1, we invite you to take part in the 11th Public Lecture series “A Question of Origins”, jointly hosted by Science Tokyo’s Earth-Life Science Institute (WPI-ELSI), the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), and co-hosted by The University of Tokyo’s International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN). This event will be in Japanese.

The Universe, Earth, 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, of Earth, and Human Intelligence. They will also discuss what it means to study the origin of something, moderated by a researcher who has crossed roads with mathematics, information sciences, physics and philosophy to discuss and think about what it means to look for an origin.
