Across The Universe: Travels in Space, Time, and Wonder

None at Berg'n

Thu, Jul 21 at 7:30 p.m. | 90 minutes

Come on a unique journey across the cosmos. We’ll begin at the beginning almost 14 billion years ago when the Universe was smaller than an atom and continue on to the present, all the while exploring its many extraordinary features. We will then look towards the future and speculate where we are all heading.
This voyage is perfect for anyone who has ever wondered what the universe actually is, where it came from, and where it is headed. Tonight we will begin among the stars and continue on towards the farthest reaches of the observable universe. Prior knowledge or any technical expertise in math or science is not required. Just bring your questions and sense of wonder.
The format of this voyage will consist mainly of a PowerPoint presentation hopefully interrupted by a host of questions from the participants.

Teacher: Michael Hamburg

Venue: Berg'n

What is Think Olio?

Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.

Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
