On a chilly winter night, local physicists are on hand to warm you up, with high powered lasers, and throbbing pulsars.The researchers are getting creative about sharing their work, so grab a drink and a feed at the UWA Refectory and get ready to hear all about the amazing work being done at the local institutions.
MC Phil Dooley will keep the evening moving along - no long words, or scary equations, just a lot of fun!
THE LINE UP
Ian Kemp (ICRAR/Curtin) has some bad news - he reckons we’re never going to meet any aliens. Ohhhh :-(
Fiona Panther (Forrest/UWA Physics) has a cosmic stethoscope, and studies the beating heart of the universe: pulsars.
Jeremy Bourhill (UWA/EQUS/CDM) is commercialising research using quantum systems to look for dark matter. But who would buy that? The pharmaceutical industry, of course.
Carl Blair (GinGin) works on high-powered lasers for detecting gravitational waves. He’s going to bring along one of his instruments (a cello).
There will be an appearance by a mystery woman of physics
Ryan van den Berg (Curtin) has come up with much better way to teach physics - get ready to learn everything, right from scratch.
Aryan Gupta (UWA) has a pitch for Hollywood: Physics! All the stories, the characters - and he’s even got the cast sorted.
Jacob Martin (Curtin) looks for natural hydrogen using Raman lidar. To really understand Raman, he visited the birthplace of the Indian scientist.
Composer Claude Debussy was inspired by the moon to write Clair de Lune. Imagine if he had seen the other 200 or more moons in the solar system, asks Dr Phil Dooley (ANU | Phil Up On Science)
Mark Beal has written a poem that sums up the night, and all of physics.
