Welcome, NYPGrs!
On Friday, May 9th at 6:30pm after a short preamble, our meeting presentations begin with our monthly New Science, with Linda, alway an interesting topic, after which we'll continue our current video series with Dan - The Big Bang and Beyond: Exploring the Early Universe - Parts 9 and 10.
Part 9 - Other Universes across Other Dimensions?
Part 10 - The Origins of the Constants of Nature
This is a video series by award winning educator Gary Felder, Professor of Physics at Smith College. Professor Felder takes you from the Big Bang to the formation of the first elements and the condensation of the earliest stars. Covering settled science as well as bold but, as of yet, unproven speculations, The Big Bang and Beyond will change the way you think about the starry heavens, and even reality itself. Relying on minimal mathematics, Professor Felder employs innovative graphics and analogies to convey truly awe-inspiring ideas.
After each presentation, it’s our turn to question and discuss..We ask that when you want to speak, plz raise your hand, wait your turn, keep your questions/comments brief and related to the event topic..
AND..why not stay on after the regular meeting that ends at 9pm, or as close thereafter, for the virtual No Holds Bar - open til 11+ pm for more informal chat!
Much appreciation goes to our NYPG Team: Linda, for her monthly New Science; to Dan, NYPG Series Moderator and to Larry and the rest of the NYPG Team for their presentations and support, to our Special Guest Speakers and to our NYPG Members for being there and especially to our NYPG Founder, Mohsen. Thank you All!

About the North York Physics Group (NYPG)
NYPG has been going for about 17 years with over 1,800 members.
Our presentations provide a venue for learning from members and guests academics and scientists. We also have video lectures covering on all aspects of Physics.
We encourage our members to submit presentations or help us find great Physics presenters, whether they be professional academics, post-grads, or just physics enthusiasts.
Within our meetings, each member gets to learn and discuss many aspects of Physics.
The only "formal" qualifications you need to join is a sincere personal desire and enthusiasm for Physics; to keep yourself informed and to courteously share your insights.
Pre-pandemic, after the formal meeting there was the Afterwards..many of us would go a short distance outside to a local pub/restaurant for drinks, snacks, chatting, making new physics oriented friends, or comparing notes with our circle of very scientific friends! For now we hang out at the virtual “No Holds Bar”. Hope you can join us for that! Closing time is 11pm.
BTW: Some members have asked if we will be going back to in person meetings. That would be nice, but, many of our regular attendees are at too much of a distance, or prefer not traveling, so the virtual meetings work well. We are looking into possible hybrid meetings meaning an appropriate free, quiet meeting space where reliable internet service is a must. So far, we haven’t found such a location.
However, the good news is that we've had some great in-person social events for local NYPG members and we will continue to have more In Person-Meetings this year. We just a good one on April 24th. There will be three more get-togethers in person this year..Summer, Fall and Winter. Dates TBA!
Mohsen and I would like to thank our Organizing Team: Linda, Dan, and Larry for their dedicated support of NYPG. Thank you TEAM!
Betty and Mohsen.
