Here, astrophysicist Mario Livio, from the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute, takes us on a tour of the cosmos in all its dramatic beauty and violence. The slow death of stars, supernova explosions, and galaxy-scale train wrecks are all set to Rainbow Body, the emotive masterpiece by composer Christopher Theofanidis. Original Program Date: June 5 2010 MARIO LIVIO Astrophysicist, Author Mario Livio is an internationally known astrophysicist, a bestselling author, and a popular speaker. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has published more than 400 scientific papers on topics ranging from dark energy, cosmology, and black holes, to supernova explosions, extrasolar planets, and the emergence of life in the universe. Livio is the author of five popular science books, including The Golden Ratio (for which he received the Peano Prize and the International Pythagoras Prize) and Is God a Mathematician? which inspired the 2015 NOVA program The Great Math Mystery. Livio’s most recent book, Brilliant Blunders, was on the New York Times Best Sellers list and was selected by the Washington Post as one of the “2013 Best Books of the Year.” The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
