ICG’s newest Professor of Cosmology, Rob Crittenden, gave his inaugural lecture on Wednesday 13th May to an audience of invited guests and members of the public. In his talk, “First Light: the cosmic microwave background”, Professor Crittenden explained how studying the oldest light in the Universe, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, helps us to understand the nature and structure of the Universe: its age, geometry and what it is made of.
