Parallel universe astrophysicist to speak at UD Nov. 19
4:55 p.m., Nov. 14, 2003--Astrophysicist Max Tegmark will discuss “Parallel Universes” at a Department of Physics and Astronomy’s colloquium at 4 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 19, in 104 Gore Hall.
A professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, Tegmark is known for a body of work that includes investigating the existence of parallel universes.
In an article in Scientific American, Tegmark wrote, “…other universes are a direct implication of cosmological observations.
“The simplest and most popular cosmological model today predicts that you have a twin in a galaxy about 10 to the 1028 meters from here.… Space appears to be infinite in size, if so, then somewhere out there everything that is possible becomes real.”
The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, call 831-1995.
