Hello Everyone, I wanted to let you know of this local (Cary, NC) upcoming physics event.
Here is the message I received from our own member, Chris Everett.... thank you Chris!

"Hello. I’m reaching out to see if you’d be willing to share an upcoming event with your Meetup members. On Saturday, August 15, The Cary Theater will host physicist Ronald Mallett for a screening of How to Build a Time Machine, followed by a live conversation about his groundbreaking research on time travel and a book signing. We believe this event would be of interest to your community, and we’d greatly appreciate any help spreading the word through your Meetup page or newsletter. Thank you for your support! https://thecarytheater.com/event/time-traveler-a-film-conversation-with-ronald-mallett/the-cary/cary/"

This will be great local event. I might be able to live stream it via Zoom. I will keep you updated.

Note: since I will be discontinuing my Meetup subscription by August 3rd, please email me if have any questions.
Thank you for your interest in physics and our APTC group.

If you could travel through time, where — or when — would you go? Would you revisit a fond memory from your childhood? Catch a glimpse of the future? Or would you travel back in time and change something in your past — even if it changed who you are now?

HOW TO BUILD A TIME MACHINE follows two men, both of whom have set out on a quest to build their own time machines. Rob Niosi is a stop motion animator who has spent the last eleven years constructing a full-scale replica of the time machine prop from the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novella, The Time Machine. Ron Mallett is a physicist from the University of Connecticut who was also inspired by H.G. Wells’ story. However, Ron’s machine isn’t a replica. Dr. Mallett believes he has figured out how to build a real, working time machine.

Post-film discussion and book signing with Dr. Ron Mallett follows screening.
