Professor Sergei Gulyaev is New Zealand's Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project leader. SKA is an international radio telescope that is easily the biggest science project ever undertaken in any of the 19 participating countries and one of the largest in the world in the early 21st Century. New Zealand and Australia will make a co-joint bid to host the SKA. Professor Sergei Gulyaev will talk about this project and its significance for New Zealand and astronomic research in general, about the expected results and what they will tell us about our universe.
This talk is given in conjunction with the exhibition Out of This World. Out of This World explores the undeniable fact that human beings are constantly faced with things that exceed their comprehension. It addresses the human desire for the sublime that persists in an age of rationalism.
