Is there meaning in the Universe?
This year’s theme will be Big Stuff: Is There Meaning In The Universe? During Big Stuff, the big questions of life, the universe and everything will be discussed: Is it rational to believe in something outside of the observable? What role does intuition play in science? Is our universe fine-tuned? And many more questions. Join us March 12th as we dig deeper into the fabric of the universe and try to uncover some seriously Big Stuff!

We laten verschillende levensbeschouwingen hun licht daarover schijnen. Het Veritas-forum is begin jaren negentig gestart op Harvard University. Ons doel is om het ware leven te verkennen door te luisteren, te discussiëren, te debatteren en te inspireren. Bezoek nl.veritas.org voor meer informatie.
