About "Horizons"

World-renowned physicist Professor Brian Cox brings his immersive live experience, "Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey," to North America.

"Horizons" takes us on a dazzling cinematic journey. A story of how we came to be and what we can become.

The deepest of questions will be explored using the latest advances in our understanding of quantum theory, black holes, biology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology. Using state-of-the-art LED screen technology, venues will be filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and a time before the Big Bang.

"Horizons" is a celebration of our civilization, of our music, art, philosophy and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore Nature with humility and to value ourselves and our fellow human beings. Brian will once again be joined by co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian Robin Ince, perhaps the only collection of sentient atoms in the observable Universe capable of overseeing a Q&A with an audience of 10,000 people while wearing an old cardigan.

    Excellent

    by Donawho on 6/26/22Majestic Theatre Dallas - Dallas

    A visual masterpiece, along with one of the best "science communicators" we've had since Sagan. The show/lecture kept the entire audience engaged from start to finish. The trailers published on social media indicated multiple large LED screens for the show. However, the storied Majestic Theater just doesnt have the space for such a large set, so we only had one screen. Not a deal-breaker at all, the presentation was incredible. The content was not overly in-depth, so as to keep it enjoyable for everyone. They even threw in a few punch lines to keep the mood uplifting. I would recommend attending this show to anyone looking to expand their scientific literacy. Also, any educators would benefit from this show to help develop more engaging methods in presenting their curriculum.

    Fantastic!

    by Kelly on 6/23/22Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    I've been a fan of Professor Cox for years, eagerly consuming any materials he generated publically! When his lecture happened to coincide with my 65th birthday, I insisted this should be my gift for a milestone birthday. And I wasn't disappointed! My husband has severe social anxiety, but he came with me, and braved the crowds, all the way to the end! What a great guy! We spent the weekend on Coronado Island, my husband's home town, and enjoyed that very much as well! It was an easy drive to the theater, easy parking, easy seating, COVID precautions were taken, and easy departure from the theater back to Coronado. We met some like minded people at the theater too, which made the wait for the doors to open very pleasant. I am of ordinary intelligence, but I understood most of what he presented. The concept of multiverse was new to me, that there was something beyond the singularity. So, I've even got loads of googling to do, to keep my brain entertained for years to come! Go Professor!!!

    Fantastic. Wonderful Night.

    by Thunderchylde on 6/23/22Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    The Balboa Theater was very nice and accommodating. The concessions available were great and if a good variety of Beer, Spirits and Wine. The pre made snack trays were a great touch. Professor Cox was all I had hoped he would be live. My SO appreciated the mixture of comic relief that was added in as well. I learned some things I hadn’t known before and was happy to have those that I did understand explained in a comprehensive way. 5 Stars; would def recommend and am definitely going again. ~Z

    Best thing I've done in years

    by Charlie on 6/23/22Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    This show was both educational and fun. Professor Brian Cox and Robin Ince explained the latest theories on the creation of the universe and black holes in a way that someone like myself with only a limited education can understand. I highly recommend attending this show if you have the opportunity. Professor Cox's words when ending the show will be remembered by me for as long as I live. Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for what you do.

    Rockstar of Physics

    by Colleen A on 6/23/22Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    This was fun night full of ground-breaking (and mind-expanding) information.

    Mindblown

    by Atil on 6/23/22Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Professor Cox’s enthusiasm, passion and ability to explain mind blowing topics was amazing. It was almost impossible to grasp the mystery of black holes and weird nature of quantum particles, but it sure gave us a sense of wonder and urge to explore further. Thanks a lot!

    Entertaining the mind

    by Morgan on 6/22/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    This classic venue is large enough to accomodate 1000 yet maintains an intimate overall experience. Parking is quite close but be prepared for the typical big city parking structure assault on your senses. Also be ready for a LONG delay in exiting those parking structures, maybe just walk around for an hour after your event. Our June event meant the day was warm - so they have a tough time keeping it cool inside especially with it full of warm humans. The line for the women's restroom was really long every time there was a break. Expect it. Very nice to be able to enjoy a night out like this, it almost felt like we're returning to a regular world out here.

    Parking was a Nightmare

    by Ensigera on 6/21/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    The presentation was great; Prof Cox and Mr Ince (?) were wonderful. However, the parking "system" immediately north of the theater has problems. One gate at each exit is not enough for a full four story structure and the card acceptance payment machine was inoperable. Also the stairway access door from the street had to be propped open with a traffic cone. It took us an hour to drive out of the building, breathing fumes all the way. Not a good way to finish up a night out.

    Great lecture. Theater - not so much!

    by Poppy on 6/21/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    Great lecture. Cox and Ince make an enjoyable science/comedy duo. The theater, however, kept everyone outside in the heat until almost showtime; didn't run the A/C inside - it was unbearablt steamy in there; had miserably insufficient restroom facilities, especially for the ladies. The line for the ladies' restroom extended from the restroom door, through the theater almost to the stage. And leaving the parking structure after the event took almost an hour. Ridiculous.

    Fantastic venue and talk!

    by David M on 6/21/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    My only complaint is that the bright blue lights were shining right in my eyes before the show started. Shouldn’t have blinding lights in audience’s faces before a show. More snack options would be great as well, mostly junk food.

    Fantastic

    by Evillincoln on 6/21/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    I've been a fan of Prof. Cox for years now but I decided to bring my fiance with me to hear him. I have to say... She hasn't stopped talking about the lecture since we left. It was fantastic to see the wonder in her eyes & hear her curiosity for everything space. If that's not a reason to attend this lecture I don't know what is. Just go... You won't regret it.

    Great

    by Thor Nado on 6/21/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    Great show overall. Especially if the material is new to you. If you’re already pretty informed on GR and quantum mechanics, then this was a good review. Just a bummer we have to always spend the first 75% of these type of lectures going back over the basics. Leaving 10 minutes to briefly go over the new exciting stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed the origins of life stuff. Geochemistry to biochemistry was super interesting. And other than not being able to see a few things on the screen, because our seats were off to the right on the mezzanine, pretty great show.

    Intellectually Stimulating

    by SoCalGloria on 6/20/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    Professor Brian Cox utilized a variety of educational modalities to discuss a variety of significant cosmic queries. His lecture style was stimulating, challenging and comprehensible. I Look forward to attending more of his lectures, sign me up!

    Nice evening but venue needed improvement!

    by Alan M on 6/20/22Ricardo Montalban Theatre - Hollywood

    Good view from mezzanine but seat leg room was horrible for a tall person. I understand it was built in 1921 but still it was tough. The worst part was basically NO AC or cool air so it was very uncomfortable which detracted from the show. It is bad when you hope the performance / show would end so you can get some cool air. When we walked down to the lobby, the air was cool on the way out.
