Wednesday, February 7th @ 7:30 PM: A Night of Infinite Questions
Theoretical Physicist Janna Levin lectures on Cosmology and Unsolvable Mysteries

Buckle up, and journey into the cosmos with author and physicist Janna Levin, as she explores mathematics, literature, and the secrets of the universe. Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University, Levin delves into the issues of madness and genius, transfinite arithmetic, chaos and curved spacetime, time warps, invisible strings, and naked singularities.

The author of A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines and How the Universe Got Its Spots, Levin asks: Is the universe infinite or just really big? Can there be a Theory of Everything? How do scientists of the past (notably logician Kurt Godel and code-breaker Alan Turing) help us understand key questions in physics? What is knowable?

Don’t miss this brain-bending ride to the edge of human knowledge!

Before and in the Tweens: Groove to tunes inspired by the Cosmic Ballet!
Imbibe the Libation of the Night, the “Time Warp,” and travel to another dimension.…



TRANSMITTING: The Words and Beat of the Universe

With songs about deep space and biology, TRANSMITTING was recently the band in residence at the Liberty Science Center. Led by poet and lead singer Jane LeCroy, TRANSMITTING features multi-instrumentalist Tom Abbs (upright bass, didgeridoo, firecrackers, tuba, and percussion toys). TRANSMITTING’s funky and cosmic sound is complemented by a half set of improvisation, which incorporates questions and words from the audience. (May we suggest: “String Theory”?)
