Jefferson Lab Science Series - Fall 2010 Schedule

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010 -- Einstein for Everyone

Young Einstein was a rebel who seemed doomed to fail. How did he  
overcome rejection to become the most famous scientist in history? We  
will discuss and explain all his theories in plain English and without  
math, and we will discover how Einstein's achievements impact our  
lives through DVDs, GPS, iPods, computers and green energy.

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 -- The Mysterious Universe - Exploring  
Our World with Particle Accelerators

The universe is dark and mysterious, more so than even Einstein  
imagined. While modern science has established deep understanding of  
ordinary matter, unidentified elements ("Dark Matter" and "Dark  
Energy") dominate the structure of the universe, its behavior and its  
destiny. What are these curious elements? We are now working on  
answers to these and other challenging questions posed by the universe  
with experiments at particle accelerators on Earth. Results of this  
research may revolutionize our view of nature as dramatically as the  
advances of Einstein and other quantum pioneers one hundred years ago.  
Professor Brau will explain for the general audience the mysteries,  
introduce facilities which explore them experimentally and discuss our  
current understanding of the underlying science. The presentation will  
be at an introductory level, appropriate for anyone interested in  
physics and astronomy.

Lectures are free and open to students and adults with an interest in  
science. All lectures begin at 7:00 pm in CEBAF Center Auditorium and  
last for about an hour. Seating in the CEBAF Center Auditorium and  
overflow area is limited to about 300 people. Seating is on a first  
come, first served basis. Unfortunately, people arriving once capacity  
has been reached will be turned away.


We plan to broadcast these lectures live over the internet. To access  
the video stream, go to this address:

Please note that we are unable to provide technical assistance to  
those who encounter difficulties viewing the video stream. Also keep  
in mind that the video stream won't be available until near the  
scheduled start of the lecture.


Due to security concerns, persons 16 years old or older may need to  
show a picture ID to Lab Security Officers. Vehicles and hand carried  
items may be inspected.


Maps to the CEBAF Center Auditorium can be found on the Science  
Education web site:
