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.

    And now for something completely different.

    by Blayzn on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    A wonderful duo. Brian and Robin were excellent. Comedy and science together again. I really appreciate the humbleness that Brian expresses as he makes difficult scientific concepts relatable. Robin was funny without being mean or haughty. Some honest laughs, and honest physics. Great chemistry between the two and being able to laugh at our own faults helps ease the feeling of being a tiny speck in the immense universe. I would love to be able to follow this tour like deadheads followed Jerry Garcia. Brian was very clear that our best understanding of the universe is currently Einstein's theory of relativity but it was humbleness and awareness that a new theory could stand us collectively on our heads. Two big thumbs up for Brian, Robin and their presentation of Horizons. Also loved the huge picture of the Milky Way galaxy made from many photos and the "trip" though a cluster of galaxies taken by the SLOAN sky survey. I've said enough entropy must increase!

    Brian Cox

    by Todd on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    The lecture was fantastic start to finish. I could listen to Brian explain space, time and black holes all day long. My question was read in stage and we received an amazing story from Brian in response! Thank you!

    Disappointing

    by Klondike Mike on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    I had high hopes that we’re not realized. The talk seemed poorly planned. It did not flow. As boring as a college lecture. Very disappointed.

    Must See!

    by Chris F. on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this excellent show. We range in age from 17-77 and all of us loved it. Prof. Cox is brilliant and an amazing science communicator. Robin Ince is exactly the right comedic foil, while also illuminating the concepts presented. If you have even the vaguest interest in math, physics, cosmology or even just ever ask “Why?”, then this show is for you. And Robin Ince is right - Spaghettify is, indeed, the best verb ever made out of a noun in English!

    Other Worldly Experience

    by Doovid on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    Professor Cox took the audience on a wonderful ride through space and time and left us with much to think about. A delight from beginning to end. Robin Ince provided a comic and insightful perspective to highlight an enlightening evening.

    Stunning visuals, easy presentation style and humor

    by Smidgkin on 4/25/22Warner Theatre - Washington

    Hearing from a great communicator of difficult science concepts with fantastic visuals and music, interspersed with humor breaks by Robin Ince, makes Brian Cox’s new Horizons absolutely worth attending. Wish it had started a little earlier as oldies like me struggled getting home well after midnight! But wouldn’t have missed it.
