Lectures
Where is the science in all that fiction? A physics lecture
When you hear the words “science fiction,” you expect some science in the fiction. However, many books, TV shows and movies throw in “baloneyum,” which looks and sounds scientific, but is really nonsense. How can we sort through the baloney to find the good stuff? Dr. Charles Adler, professor of physics at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and the author of “Wizards, Aliens, and Starships,” will help sort through the baloney to find the good stuff during a lecture on this topic at 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, in Room 104 Physics Building.
