From the DDD, there will be a thrilling discussion on time travel (the real kind) with refreshments.  The room is the one in that place that kinda looks like and office, just head to the back, table with refreshments is usually on the left, don’t be shy to take things as people usually are.



CoAS Dean’s Seminar on “Time Travel and Other Physics Digressions”
The College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Seminar Series presents “Time Travel and Other Physics Digressions” with Dr. David Goldberg, associate professor of physics, on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Disque Hall room 109 (32nd Street between Market and Chestnut Streets).
Time travel is largely considered a figment of our imaginations, and yet Einstein’s general theory of relativity contains equations with a number of solutions that point to time machines. Goldberg will explore the fundamental physics underlying time as we currently understand it, and will describe several “practical” designs for time machines. Philosophical issues and paradoxes raised by time travel scenarios will also be discussed in an effort to distinguish between science fiction that is fundamentally impossible and that which is just staggeringly out of reach.
This event is free and open to students, faculty, and staff. Refreshments will be served For more information, contact Amy Weaver at amw55@drexel.edu.

Personally, I think these people get a negative rap for no reason, you should give them a try if you’re up for new experiences and want to explore how people celebrate religion.  They’re open to basically everyone, so don’t feel alarmed if you don’t fit their “mold” because I’m sure they’ll tell you there isn’t one.  Also, they gave me one of the better books I’ve ever read – Blue Like Jazz
