I have a number of New Scientist Zoon Lectures and Q&A sessions that I have used with Pembrokeshire U3A pembrokeshireu3a.org.uk two of which are on cosmology. What Happened at The Big Bang Dan Hooper
New Scientist “Zoom” lecture. Explore the mysteries of the universe’s first seconds. Over the past few decades, we have made incredible discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. However, there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the big bang. Daniel Hooper is an American cosmologist and particle physicist specializing in the areas of dark matter, cosmic rays, and neutrino astrophysics. He is a Senior Scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and an Associate … The end of the universe Katie Mack
New Scientist “Zoom” lecture We know the universe had a beginning and physicists agree that one day it will end, but how it will it finish? Will our universe collapse in upon itself, rip itself apart, or even – in the next five minutes – succumb to an inescapable expanding bubble of doom? Explore the possibilities based on theory and brand-new results from the world’s most powerful telescopes and particle colliders. Katie Mack is a theoretical cosmologist and Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University. Her academic research investigates dark matter, vacuum decay and the epoch of reionisation. Mack is also a popular science communicator who participates in social media and regularly writes for Scientific American, Slate, Sky & Telescope, Time and Cosmos

Those lectures look really interesting Geoff. Hopefully we can fit them in sometime in the near future. Something to discuss at next meeting.
