Life, the Universe, and Everything: A String Theory Way

Join us for a talk with scientist and author Dr. Howard Jeffrey Bender as he gives a light description of String Theory, including applications in biology, astronomy, and physics. We'll see how our universe has developed, how both Dark Matter and Dark Energy may be explained, and how our consciousness and personality may be affected. He also shows how String Theory concepts might help us better understand ourselves and might provide material to help with our own creative ideas.

Suitable for teens thru older adults and STEAM, it includes ideas for patrons who are scientifically-oriented or those looking for ideas for their next novel.
