Come to the Marvin Library’s VOICES Lecture:
Bob Berman — What is the Universe?

Monday, Nov. 7
Noon to 12:50 p.m.
BTC Auditorium

Quantum revelations and astounding discoveries since 1998 have led us to completely new understandings of the cosmos. Bob Berman, author, professor and astronomy editor of the Old Farmers’ Almanac, will explore:

  • the strange nature of “empty space”
  • the non-reality of time
  • the curious inter-relationship between the observer and nature 
  • the meaning of the infinite universe

Berman’s large-scale overview of everything will include a discussion of multiverses, string theory and alternative valid ways of visualizing the cosmos.
