About us
Everyone is curious about how the universe works, from astronomy and cosmology down to the smallest building blocks of nature. This is a social group where we'll talk about what's going on in current research, and what it means to the average person.
It's not a free graduate school or a place for amateur theoreticians to promote their ideas. So all you need is curiosity about the world we live in.
Physics has both technological and philosophical applications. We'll consider both. We'll do some of our own experiments in "fluid flow" at local bars monthly. Also we'll have physics slide shows in the library meeting rooms, followed by discussions at nearby restaurants.
