In between dropping diss tracks about flat earth theories and tweeting about the disastrous science and arts policies of the Trump administration, world renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is finding time to visit Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney in July 2017 in Neil deGrasse Tyson: A Cosmic Perspective. Having left audiences hungry for more after his 2015 tour, An evening with Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tyson is back in Oz to discuss the implications of A.I., the potential for another Space Race and the ethical implications of encountering alien life forms. He will also be considering the role of scientific illiteracy and dogma of all stripes in the era of ‘alternative facts’. Doors open at 6:00pm; the event starts at 7:00pm.
