Weatherproof!
From the Seattle Science Festival 2013, "Beyond Infinity? The Search for Understanding at the Limits of Space & Time June 6, 2013, 8 p.m. at Seattle's Paramount Theatre VIP Reception: 6:30 p.m. Current advances in theoretical physics are blurring the boundaries between science and philosophy. How can we comprehend, much less determine, the size or age of the universe, when doing so requires us to consider quantities either unimaginably huge or impossibly tiny? What are the origins of the universe, and what are its implications for time travel? This spectacular event will feature presentations by three of the nation's greatest physicists, Brian Greene, Sean Carroll and Adam Frank, and the West Coast premiere of Icarus at the Edge of Time with live narration by Kal Penn and music by Philip Glass, performed by the Garfield Orchestra under the direction of Marcus Tsutakawa. This fantastic event will be emceed by journalist Jennifer Ouellette, who writes the popular Cocktail Party Physics blog for Scientific American."
