Science on Screen®
Time travel, space travel and the great beyond!
Athens Ciné (Athens, GA): May 14, 2022

We encourage you to pair this conversation with the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope: Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.

Time perception and time reality: how speed compresses time and other space “aging” nuggets.

Presenter: Dr. Loris Alberto Magnani

Dr. Magnani received a PhD from the University of Maryland. Research interests include the interstellar medium of the Galaxy: a great reservoir from which stars are born and to which they return much of their mass.
