Mathematical Sciences - Colloquium |
|
Dr. Jeffery Weeks When we look out on a clear night, the universe seems infinite. Yet this infinity might be an illusion. During the first half of this presentation, computer games will introduce the concept of a "multiconnected universe". Interactive 3D graphics will then take the viewer on a tour of several possible shapes for space. Finally, we'll see how data from a small NASA
satellite could soon reveal the true shape of our universe. The only
prerequisites for this talk are curiosity and imagination. For middle
school and high school students, people interested in astronomy, and
all members of the Missoula community.
