Saturday Morning Physics: How Old is the Universe — That is, What Time is It?

These lectures are back! I will try and get there early to save seats, but please arrive by 10am in order to get your seat. This lectures are very popular. If you get there late you might have to sit in the overflow room next door.

Speaker: Scott Watson
Professor of Physics (Syracuse University)

Saturday, October 4, 2025
10:30-11:30 AM
170 & 182 Auditoriums Weiser Hall
Each lecture begins promptly at 10:30 AM and runs until 11:30 AM, with a half-hour Q&A afterward.

Have you ever wondered about the origin of time? Join us for a fascinating exploration into a concept that has captivated scientists and philosophers for centuries. We'll dive into fundamental theories, such as string theory, and we’ll examine observations that provide clues as to how time might emerge from the fabric of the universe itself.

About Saturday Morning Physics
Physics is a fundamental science and provides the foundations for solving both cosmic mysteries and practical problems. In 1995, the University of Michigan Department of Physics began sharing some of the latest ideas in the field with the public in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series.

Designed for general audiences, the lectures are an opportunity to hear physicists discuss their work in easy-to-understand, non-technical terms. The multimedia presentations include hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed, along with slides, video, and computer simulations
