SciTech Cafe: Dark Matter and Energy, Feb 23

SciTech Cafe is pleased to present the monthly discussion series: A scientist walks into a bar... to shed light on dark matter.
Monday, February 23rd, 6pm, Amherst Brewing Company

Dark Matter and Energy: We Really Don't Know What Most of the Universe is Made of
 


*What is the universe made of, and how do we know?
*What do we mean by “dark matter” and “dark energy” and what’s the difference between them?
*What are we doing to try to figure out what these are actually made of?

Professor Gary Felder of the Physics Department at Smith College will share with us his exploration of the dark side...of matter and energy that is.

Please bring a friend and join us as we enjoy light appetizers, lively conversations, prizes and brilliant minds. This is an inclusive, family-friendly event and people of all walks of life are invited. 
Admission is FREE!
