A collaboration with CERN. Asking the big questions about the birth and evolution of the universe. I recommend downing the Big Bang AR apps on the Google or Apple stores. I found it to be a visually spectacular journey of the beginning of our universe.

The universe had a beginning – 13.8 billion years ago;

The age of our solar system – and the Earth – is about 4.6 billion years, just 1/3 of the age of the universe.

The universe developed like a very big, self-assembling Lego game, with quarks forming protons and neutrons, then light nuclei, atoms and molecules, cells and multi-cellular organisms. Just two types of quarks and electrons make up all the atoms and molecules of matter – and us.

 

You (and everything else) are 13.8 billion years old, and the particles in your body are eternal.

 

90% of the elements making up your body stem from a Supernova explosion; about 10% from the Big Bang.

What can you learn about?

The app will show the result of all the big discoveries made during the last century.

Exciting topics:

– What happened at the beginning of space and time?

– What are the most fundamental particles?

– How did they form the structures that we observe today? From protons/neutrons, nuclei, atoms, stars, planets, Earth and life?

– You are 13.8 billion years old, and 90% of the elements in your body have been produced in a star!

Women have played a significant role in the development of plant science through botanical art, yet many have not received due recognition for their work as compared to their male counterparts. Explore the works of women artists ahead of their time whose works are part of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation’s collections.

An in-painting tour from the National Gallery, London

During a famously snowy winter, Monet was inspired to paint 18 views of Parisian suburb of Argenteuil where he lived. This is the largest of the series, depicting Monet’s street, the boulevard Saint-Denis.
