✨ About the Talk
Nearly two decades ago, the discovery of the first Fast Radio Burst (FRB) revealed a completely new cosmic phenomenon. Originating from extreme environments near neutron stars, FRBs have since become powerful tools to explore the large-scale structure of the Universe. 🌠
In this captivating talk, Prof. Lorimer narrates the story behind the discovery, the role of curiosity and serendipity in science, and the exciting future of FRB research.
Perfect for students, educators, and space enthusiasts, this lecture bridges classroom physics with real-world astrophysics and frontier research.
