A fabulous lineup announced for the first in a monthly series of Science in the Pub. May is Physics (June is Chemistry; July is Health & Medical).
Join us in a relaxed venue as physicists share their love of the cosmos, the nanoparticle and the legendary wheelchair-bound genius.
When: Wednesday May 9
Where: Smiths Alternative, 76 Alinga St, Civic
Cost: Free thanks to the Australian Institute of Physics
No bookings required, but turn up early - we will pack out Smiths!
The Lineup!
Last year, two neutrons stars collided and shook the whole cosmos. Ashley Ruiter (UNSW Canberra) is going to tell us what it felt like.
Matthew Colless (Mt Stromlo, ANU ) is paying tribute to Stephen Hawking – he studied under him at Cambridge.
Data is cool, says astronomer Fiona Panther (Stromlo, ANU). Until you have too much. Then you need a guitar to cope.
Robert Ward (OzGrav, ANU) wants to know what happens when you fall into a black hole. Hawking’s theories suggest you get incinerated by a seething maelstrom of particles. Or it could be nothing at all.
Ed Simpson (Nuclear Physics ANU) is going to take you inside the mysterious white tower on the shores of the lake. No, not the carillon – much more exciting, the particle accelerator at ANU!
Matt Woolley (UNSW Canberra) has studied huge, vibrating quantum drums. They’re massive by quantum standards - about the width of a human hair.
Every quantum physicist talks about Schrodinger’s Cat, but the cat’s got a few things to say back to the physicists, says Phil Dooley (Phil Up On Science)
AJ Mitchell (Nuclear Physics, ANU) is radioactive. Is it infectious? Is it curable?
Larissa Huston (Physics ANU) is taking a break from the pressure of a PhD to tell you all about the everyday and the extreme pressures in our world.
