We’ll talk about the mind-blowing pranks and jokes of restless Cambridge students, about great discoveries and mediaeval feuds.
We’ll find out who invented the most useful kettle, what the giant fairytale grasshopper eats, whether you can ask for beer during an exam at Cambridge, who once parked a car on the roof of a university building, where bears once “studied” here, and how many Newtons there were at Cambridge.
We’ll walk along the cobblestone streets where the tireless Newton once strode, and Stephen Hawking wheeled. We’ll visit an authentic pub associated with a major scientific discovery and will explore a couple of Cambridge University colleges. Along the way, we’ll discuss how worldviews and life itself have changed over the centuries, and what Cambridge is like today – both as a university and a city.
