Martin Rees is Astronomer Royal and the former president of the Royal Society. His work as a cosmologist spans black hole quasars, gamma ray bursts and theories about the “multiverse”. He is the author of numerous popular science books, including Our Final Century: Will the Human Race Survive the Twenty-first Century? and From Here to Infinity — Scientific Horizons.
