Life, the Universe, and Everything: A String Theory Way
Join us for a talk with scientist and local 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.
Registration encouraged.
This program is best suited for older children, teens and adults. Younger children (around age 10 and under) may find the material less engaging.
