DESCRIPTION:Join us at our squash for an enthralling talk by one of the mo
 st popular scientists in Great Britain\, followed by a discussion over ref
 reshments and a chance to find out more about the society. This year’s S
 ciSoc Squash has kindly been sponsored by Citi\, so you can expect to be i
 mpressed!\n\nSimon Singh\, author of "Fermat's Last Theorem" and "The Code
  Book"\, will talk about his latest book\, "Big Bang - a history of cosmol
 ogy". As well as explaining what the Big Bang theory actually is\, Simon w
 ill recount how the theory emerged and tell the story of the brilliant and
  eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eter
 nal and unchanging cosmos. He will also look at the astronomical evidence 
 in favour of a Big Bang moment of creation and discuss why today's cosmolo
 gists remain confident that the Big Bang theory is an accurate description
  of the origin and evolution of the universe. The lecture is likely to inc
 lude Led Zeppelin\, the teletubbies and an electrified gherkin.\n\nThis ta
 lk is suitable for both scientists and non-scientists\, and we'd really li
 ke to meet some interested non-scientists out there!\n\nThe Britsol-Myers 
 Squibb Lecture Theatre is the main lecture theatre in the Department of Ch
 emistry. For a map\, see http://tinyurl.com/yx3r8p.
