Abstract: The Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge (KICC) celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019 which was marked with a series of events.

From 16th to 20th of September 2019 a major scientific symposium took place at KICC entitled "Cosmology: the end of the beginning. Future prospects in cosmology, large scale structure and galaxy formation" attended by 150 international experts.

As a part of this event on September 17th a public talk was delivered by three world leading astrophysicists: Lord Martin Rees (Cambridge), Prof Roger Blandford (Stanford) and Prof David Spergel (Princeton). The lectures adddressed some of the most fundamental questions and pressing problems of modern astrophysics including: "How did the Universe begin?" "What is its fate?" "Is there life out there?" "What are black holes and gravitational waves?" "Do we need new physics?"
