A Nobel Prize winner. Right here in Byron Bay.
It's not everyday you get the opportunity to not only meet but to sit with someone whose discoveries could help shape the future of our world.
And this November, that's exactly what's happening at Byron Theatre.
Meet Professor John M. Martinis, recipient of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics and a pioneering scientist whose groundbreaking work is opening doors to possibilities we once thought were out of reach.
Imagine a future where computers could help scientists discover new medicine, develop extraordinary new materials or solve problems that today's most powerful machines simply can't.
It might sound like science fiction but it's the kind of future Professor John M. Martinis has spent decades working towards.
From helping lead Google's groundbreaking research to receiving one of the world's most prestigious scientific honours, his work has helped turn what once seemed impossible into reality.
And now, our Northern Rivers community has a rare opportunity to hear directly from him.
Hosted by Quantum researcher Dr. Danielle Holmes, the evening will feature Professor Martinis' Nobel lecture, followed by a discussion and an opportunity for you to ask questions.
You don't need to be a scientist to be curious about the future.
