The Science of Science Fiction (A Free, Hybrid Lecture)
The Science of Science Fiction (A Free, Hybrid Lecture)
On April 29th at 7:00pm, ET, Dr. Frederick Walter, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Stony Brook University will discuss "The Science of Science Fiction." We have all been enthralled by the imaginings of Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Gene Roddenbury, Jules Verne, and so many others who have foreshadowed future science. In this talk, you'll learn the reality behind their work--what might have been, what is, and what might be possible. This HYBRID event will be held in-person at the East Hampton Library and online via Zoom. Weather permitting, the talk will be followed by guided tours of the night sky via telescope; feel free to bring your own.
