Physics in Florence from Galileo to the Higgs Boson

November 20
6:30pm
Science Theatre – Join Science World, TRIUMF and ARPICO for an evening of science, philosophy and history–this time with award-winning author Professor Gino Segrè.

Gino Segrè is a physics professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of three popular science books, including Faust in Copenhagen. His lecture, entitled “Physics in Florence from Galileo to the Higgs Boson”, will chart the history of physics as it grew from the influence of Galileo, his disciples, and the spirit of exploration in 17th century Florence, to the present day, with the most recent dramatic example being the discovery of the Higgs boson.

The lecture will begin at 6:30pm in the Science Theatre at TELUS World of Science, followed by a question and answer period.

FREE          but you need to register on line.
