The Invisible Universe:Einstein's Legacy A Distinguished Lecture Series | ||
| This fall, five world renowned astrophysicists will come to the University of Michigan to discuss 100 years of unprecedented discovery. From black holes to dark matter to the fate of the universe itself, these lectures reveal the mystery and excitement of the invisible universe around us.
All lectures are free of charge, and will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Chemistry 1800 auditorium [map]. (Note: the Chemistry building is also called the Dow Chemistry Laboratories) There is currently construction outside part of the building. The northeast corner of the building is the best place to enter. Parking is available in the Church Street parking structure, across from East Hall [map]. Lectures will be followed by a public viewing night at the observatory atop Angell Hall [map]. In addition, the UM Exhibit Museum of Natural History will give a planetarium show entitled "The Universe of Dr. Einstein" immediately following the lecture. | ||
