Wormholes, Multiverses and Magical Music: Physics in the Pub

Local physicists and astronomers are coming to the pub - join them to hear all about building the tiniest nano-things, up to exploring this huge universe (and the parallel ones too).

There’ll be magic, there’ll be superpowers, but no cosmetologists as this amazing line up explores the astonishing world that is physics research.

Get there early to grab a drink and a feed, so you can settle in for a mind-blowing and rib-tickling evening. MC Dr Phil Dooley will keep the evening moving along - easy on the long words and equations- long on entertainment.

When: 6.30 for 7pm, Tuesday August 27th 2024

Where: The Abercrombie Hotel, 100 Broadway, Sydney

How Much: Free! thanks to our generous sponsors:

FLEET (ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies)
EQUS (ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems)

The Line Up

Red Clump stars are very important - astronomers love them. Which is why other stars try to impersonate them - Kirsten Banks (UNSW) is out to unmask these imposters.

Nanofabrication machines are amazing at making really small things. REALLY small. Smaller than light - so how can you see what you are doing? Lesley Spencer (UTS | TMOS) has that superpower.

Rachel Rayner (CSIRO | Rayner Explainer) is reaching out to the folks in Newtown who are looking for a psychedelic side to life. She says quantum mechanics is all they need.

Simon Crook (CrookEd Science | USyd) is going to test us - can we pass HSC physics? He advises swotting up on Faraday, Maxwell and Big Bang Theory. Wait… what??

Daniel Terno (Macquarie Uni) wrote a paper about wormholes. His family didn’t like it - they stopped talking to him after that.

Lachlan Rogers (Newcastle Uni | EQUS) runs the EQUS podcast, and explores the sounds of quantum. According to his guests it could sound like Mozart. Or the sound of a vacuum pump.

Ian Falconer (USyd) also has a number of superpowers, that he learnt last century. He’s going to demonstrate amazing skills with a sliderule, graph paper and a pencil!

Despite what people say, Jahanvi Maheshwari (UNSW) is not a cosmetologist. Not in any universe. To prove it she’s going to talk multiverses with us.
