Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: From Thales to Higgs: A Very Physical Promenade Friday, September 21, 2018 Through various anecdotes, some true, some made up, but always plausible, I start with Thales, move on to Empedocles and Aristarchus, spend some time with Plato and Aristotle, then jump all the way to Einstein. All along, I use a simple language, understandable to everyone and hopefully entertaining. My goal is to explain how the world in which we live is at the same time simpler and more complex, but most of all more marvelous and fascinating, than most people think.Without trying to sell myself as a specialist of scientific thinking, which I'm not, my goal is to explain why physics is for me a constant source of inspiration and wonder.The show is free and open to the public. However, we ask that you reserve a seat by emailing Hal Haggard ([email protected]) Time: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Olin Hall Sponsor: Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing; Physics Program; Theater Program Contact: Hal Haggard.
