🎬 Film Night: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse + myth busting Quantum Science Panel

Join us for an electrifying evening where science meets cinema! We’re screening the visually stunning, Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, a film that dives headfirst into the multiverse with a web-slinging twist.

But the night doesn’t stop when the credits roll.

After the film, stay for a live panel discussion featuring real-world quantum physicists who will unpack the science (and the fiction) behind the movie’s mind-bending portrayal of parallel universes, quantum leaps, and tangled timelines. Is there any real science behind the Spider-Verse? What does modern quantum research actually look like? How close are we to understanding — or even accessing — other universes?

Whether you're a Marvel fan, a science enthusiast, or just quantum-curious, this is your chance to see how today's cutting-edge physics both aligns with and diverges from superhero storytelling.

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE dir. Rodney Rothman & Bob Persichetti (2018) USA | PG | 117 mins
