Physics & Foam: An Exploration of Time

  • Loveland Aleworks 118 West 4th St Loveland, co 80537 US (map)

Our daily existence is measured on the time scale of the ticking clock - seconds, minutes, and hours. Our quickest reactions may take a tenth of a second, while our oldest memories can span decades. But what are the shortest and longest time scales that scientists can study? In this mind-bending discussion, Dr. Jan Chaloupka, from the University of Northern Colorado Department of Physics and Astronomy, will discuss how physicists create pulses of laser light lasting an unbelievable billionth of a billionth of a second long, how astronomers can look billions of years backwards in time, and where we fit within this incredible scale of time and space. Join us for a timely Physics & Foam, complete with delicious beer, fascinating science, and trivia for prizes!
