50 years after his death, 100 years after his world shattering discoveries, and just after his 126th birthday, Albert Einstein is making a special visit to Perth. He is coming especially to meet young people, to tell them about the universe, and to exchange ideas with physicists who today, are still trying to test his theories. Einstein always argued and questioned everything. He thought he had proved that quantum physics must be wrong because it is completely absurd. Now he wants to know why physicists today say the universe IS absurd. Most of all he wants to know three things: Why do the physicists today believe that 96% of all the stuff in the universe is mysterious stuff called dark matter and dark energy? Why can his absurd idea called entanglement be used to make computers billions of times more powerful than those we have today? Why are physicists searching for his gravity waves that he said were completely undetectable? Join two top physicists and Einstein himself discussing: • The strange world of Quantum • Dark Energy • Black Holes & Gravity Waves • Einstein Himself! This free public lecture will celebrate the Einstein International Year of Physics. Two top physicists will tell their stores of Einstein’s physics, but Einstein himself will be giving his point of view. Physics is fun, and this fun event will show how modern physics has uncovered new mysteries and vast opportunities to make new discoveries. There will be a prize for the nest Einstein impersonator to attend the lecture, presented by Einstein himself. Sponsors: The Australian Institute of Physics, Questacon, the Gravity Discovery Centre, Scitech Discovery Centre, the University of Western Australia and Murdoch University. When & Where: Tuesday 5th April 2005, for the general public from 6.30pm to 7.30pm Octagon Lecture Theatre, The University of Western Australia. Speaker(s) : Professor David Blair (recent winner of the Australia New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science Medal, UWA), Professor Igor Bray (Chairman of Australia Institute of Physics, WA Branch; Australian Professorial Fellow, Murdoch University) and Patrick Helean as "Albert Einstein", countesy of Questacon
