Professor Brian Cox: Emergence
Nov 20, 2026
Starting: 7:30 PM
A visually immersive journey through the origins and structure of the universe invites audiences to explore how complexity, life and meaning emerge from fundamental physical laws. Blending science, philosophy and art, the program expands the format of a live lecture into a large-scale multimedia experience.
Emergence marks the latest world tour from Professor Brian Cox, following the international success of Horizons. A physicist and professor at the University of Manchester, Cox is widely known for bringing advanced scientific ideas to broad audiences through television, radio and live performance. His work includes landmark BBC series such as Wonders of the Solar System, Wonders of the Universe and The Planets, which have earned international acclaim for their clarity and visual ambition. In Emergence, Cox draws on cosmology, biology and history to examine how structure and order arise in nature, supported by custom visuals, original music and large-scale LED environments developed in collaboration with scientists, filmmakers and artists.
Professor Brian Cox: Emergence takes place Friday, November 20 at the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami, offering an evening that merges scientific inquiry with cinematic storytelling on a theatrical scale.
