Title: Foundations of Localized Symmetry Mathematics Date: April 18 2026 Noon - 14:00 EST Summary: The moment you use Euclid’s definitions of points and distances in any of your mathematical axioms, all that follows is assured to produce some level of nonsensical results when applied to the foundations of physics. The reason is not complicated: Euclid’s definitions are deeply mired in accepting as a “given” the very concepts that emerge only in well-defined inertial frames, which in turn are local instances of symmetries that are always finite and context dependent. In this talk, Terry will discuss how reframing mathematics in terms of symmetries that, as in the real world, are finite, composite, and dependent on self-observation (acceleration), results in a richer and far stranger set of mathematics in absolute conservation of quantum numbers generate local and global symmetries — the opposite of Noether’s theorem — that in turn create the emergent classical phenomenal such a particles, fields, space, and time. Speaker: Terry Bollinger is a computer scientist with BS, MS, and professional degrees from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

Welcoming back Kecia Deveney for our annual Creative Minds Summit! This mixed media journal is a place for fragments. For what was saved without knowing why. For scraps, thoughts, images, and moments that did not ask to be finished. Nothing here needs to make sense. Nothing here needs to be useful. These pages are allowed to change, to be returned to, or left behind. This book belongs to the act of keeping. In **A Place for Fragments**, you’ll learn how to create a soft, fabric-covered journal using scraps and remnants using cardboard as our substrate; simple, forgiving binding and stitching methods; ways to layer paper and fabric without planning or pressure; how to let materials guide decisions instead of rules; how to work intuitively and trust when something feels complete enough; simple ways to work on inside pages and making an image focal point using resin.

Title: Potential Applications of Negative Radiation Pressure in Astronomy, Medicine and 2WQC Date: April 19 2026 10:00 am - Noon EDT (16:00 - 18:00 CET) Abstract: While we are used to heating and pushing with light, there is also optical cooling and pulling. I will talk about negative radiation pressure, potential ways to generate it, and its novel applications, like non-ionizing medical scanners, 2WQC (two-way quantum computers) in theory solving NP problems, also potential astronomical sources and their observation. Speaker: Dr Jarek Duda is an assistant professor at Jagiellonian University. He holds degrees in computer science (PhD), mathematics (MSc) and physics (PhD). He is mainly focused on physics foundations, information theory, statistical analysis, and is known for introduction of asymmetric numeral systems.

Spring into celebration and let freedom ring in the nation's capital! DC Emancipation Day 2026 will be celebrated on Sunday, April 19, 2026, with a festival at Franklin Park featuring a parade and concert, honoring the 21st anniversary of the official city holiday. The celebration marks the April 16, 1862, signing of the Compensated Emancipation Act, which freed over 3,100 enslaved people in Washington, D.C. It is this legislation, and the courage and struggle of those who fought to make it a reality, that we commemorate every DC Emancipation Day. This year's celebration will be marked with a parade, concert, and much more! HOW TO GET THERE To get to ⁠Franklin Park (1332 I St NW) using the Metrorail, your best bet is to head to ⁠McPherson Square, located on the Silver, Blue, and Orange Lines. It's the closest station, located just a block away at 14th and I St NW. Exit from the 14th and I St NW side. Due to the expense and difficulty of driving and parking in DC, taking the Metro is highly recommended. WHERE TO MEET We will meet outside the 14th and I St NW exit of McPherson Square. NOTE: It may be crowded and noisy. It will be outdoors. Please plan accordingly for any sensory or mobility issues and dress for the weather. If the weather calls for heavy rain and/or thunderstorms, I will cancel this event. See you soon, Jenny
