Meterology
Tad Maguire, Senior Meteorologist with WSI Corporation will present: "Weather Forecasting...and why it's wrong." He will explain, in layman's terms, the history and science of predicting the weather, how advances in technology have changed what we know, and the obstacles still faced. A question and answer session will follow.
Cosmology
Mark Jackson, Ph.D, a theoretical physicist from Fermilab, will present an overview of Cosmology and String Theory for the non-physicist. He will explain why this hot topic in physics – involving questions about gravity, relativity and quantum mechanics – is called the “theory of everything” by considering the tiny scale of atoms and the enormous scale of the universe. A question and answer session will follow.
