Ryan Cox Presents: A Universe from Nothing

Our very own Ryan Cox is going to take us through the Lawrence Krauss book : Universe from Nothing. Here, Krauss tackles the question of why there is something rather than nothing. Can our universe arise spontaneously or is a cause required? Cosmology and physics have given us new insight into the nature of nothingness. This should open up a good discussion about what "nothing" really means in the scientific world. For those first-timers, our schedule for the evening normally goes like this:
6:30-7:15 - Mingle and eat dinner
7:15-7:30 - ACSJ announcements
7:30-8:00 - Main Presentation
8:00-8:30 - Q&A
8:30-9:30 - More meet and mingle
