SLAC Features Physics for Campus Community
By Nina Adelman Stolar
Bring
your friends and family to Stanford Community Day to explore programs
and exhibits including Arts, Culture and Music, Athletics, Health,
Science and Research. Events range from faculty lectures to children’s
activities, centered around Serra Mall (near the top of the Oval) at the
Stanford campus from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 10.
Quantum Universe Exhibit
Unveiled
Please join us in introducing our scientific
research to the community. Modern-day Einsteins are still needed to be
on hand to answer questions and conduct scientific demonstrations
throughout the day for children of all ages. Look for us on the lawn
area in front of Hoover Tower.
Highlighting the SLAC program,
the Quantum Universe exhibit (http://interactions.org/quantumuniverse/)
provides a preview of a revolution in 21st century particle physics. The exhibit
describes a quantum leap in our understanding of the mystery and beauty of the
universe.
Celebrating the
World Year of Physics
Four Stanford physics professors will
debate ‘The Greatest Achievement in Physics During the Last Century.’
Participants in the panel are Robert Byer (Hansen Experimental Physics
Laboratory and Applied Physics), Andrei Linde (Physics); Nobel Laureate
Douglas Osheroff (Physics) and Past APS President Helen Quinn (THP).
They will present and defend what he/she believes to be the greatest
physics achievement.
