Fascinating mini-lecture by the team behind the popular Volkskrant science podcast.
'Meanwhile in the Cosmos' is the popular science podcast from the Volkskrant, in which Tonie Mudde, his correspondents and academics examine the world with an inquisitive eye. During this theater lecture, Mudde and his guests explore questions such as: how do hallucinations and psychoses work? Can you still tell the difference between a film with real people and one with AI-generated images? How do animals use cunning and deception to survive? Can we ever be certain that we really exist and are not living in a simulation like in the Hollywood classic 'The Matrix'?
You'll gain new insights and get to know the faces behind the podcast better along the way. Guest journalists include Maarten Keulemans, Laurens Verhagen, Anna van den Breemer and Jean-Pierre Geelen. Iris Sommer will also be present, the professor who knows everything about how our brains can deceive us. Expect fascinating mini lectures, a surprising audience experiment and perhaps even a touch of pure magic.
