@ri_science: It’s TIME for a big announcement! The 2026 Christmas Lectures®, supported by CGI, will be given by theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili, exploring the awe-inspiring physics of time. Investigating mind-melting questions, including why there's no such thing as now, if time travel to the past is possible, and even if time really exists at all. Join us on the BBC and iPlayer in late December. Now, if only the time until December could speed up!
