Welcome
My goal is to present
real science to real people in a way that everyone can enjoy. You
don't need to be a physics or math wiz to appreciate the beauty of a
distant galaxy or to be awed by an exploding star.
We live in the Golden
Age of Astronomy. More has been learned in our lifetime about stars,
galaxies, black holes and the Big Bang than in the entire prior
history of mankind.
Unfortunately many
people don't have the opportunity to appreciate these great
discoveries. Real science is often shrouded in complex math and
technical jargon, and popularized science is often so watered down as
to be almost meaningless.
Presentation topics
span the range of modern physics & cosmology, and include answers
to the following questions:
-
Why stars shine?
-
Why stars are so energy efficient?
-
How can we generate
more energy with less pollution?
-
What are supernovae,
white dwarfs, and black holes?
-
What does "Big
Bang" really mean?
-
How old and how large
is our universe?
-
What is the meaning of
Einstein theories?
The material presented is
not "dumbed down". Rather it has been carefully translated
into plain English from the original physics/math jargon. The
presentations include many heavenly pictures and simple, informative graphics.
I have presented the
wonders of our universe to over fifty non-technical audiences, from grade-schoolers
to retirees, translating cutting-edge science into plain English and
showing lots of captivating pictures.
It would be a pleasure
to speak to your audience. The presentation can be customized to
accommodate your group's interests and time constraints.
Please note, I also
have a new book coming out for
those who wish to delve into these topics more deeply. |
