Bec Hill, Bobby Seagull, Simon Singh & more in the Family Hour - Nine Lessons 24 Hour Show

The Cosmic Shambles Network | Bec Hill, Bobby Seagull, Simon Singh & more in the Family Hour - Nine Lessons 24 Hour Show - Part 4 @cosmicshambles | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 16 hours ago
At midday on December 12th we staged a 24 hour show, Nine Lessons and Carols for Socially Distanced People, hosted by Robin Ince, full of science, music and comedy for charity. You can now watch almost the entire show in one hour(ish) chunks. With our traditional December shows, Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People and Robin Ince and Brian Cox's Christmas Compendium of Reason forced to cancel for 2020 we knew we couldn't just leave everyone without their end of year science jamboree.

In true Nine Lessons fashion, the family hour was two hours. Robin was joined on stage by Bec Hill and virtual guests with demos, songs, mathematics, puppetry and quizzes were Bobby Seagull, Simon Singh, Suze Kundu, Jamie Gallagher, Jonny Berliner, Lori Hopkins and Steve Pretty and his robot band.

The Universe was made by a god, sometimes omnipotent, sometimes fractious, sometimes both. Now, as we explore the Universe and start to explain ourselves, the Universe has started to lose it single meaning and we have to find individual meanings ourselves. This is Tips for Existence where Robin Ince talks to cosmologists, composers, astronauts and authors about what gives them meaning.
