Aurora Northern Nights - Presentation
Thebacha Campus
- January 25, 2023 (Wed) @ 7:00 pm

Space & Time - How big, how long ...
Space is the universe we live in and is simply humongous ! The presentation will try and demonstrate just how huge it is !

Time is really really complicated and will not be explained in this presentation. We will however, demonstrate "how much" time has passed since the beginning of the universe, or our intrepretation.

The presentation will be broadcasted on TAWBAS's YouTube Channel
