The cosmic ouroboros resurrects an ancient symbol with modern insights from astrophysics & cosmology. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sheldon Glashow created the cosmological uroboros in 1979, connecting the 4 fundamental forces in one striking image. We'll discuss the mythology of the ouroboros and the serpent throughout human history. We'll also reveal the many connections between modern physics and this powerful symbol.
