Demonstrations in Physics (Or Life Outside the Box) May 31, 2008

Through a series of live demonstrations, Dr. Helio Takai will make it easier to understand physics - from classical to modern - a span of over five centuries of knowledge. Demonstrations will involve light, sound, gravity, electricity, magnetism, semiconductors, Brownian motion and particle physics. Each demo will describe a phenomenon and how it is of relevance to daily life. This presentation is for all ages. Dr. Helio Takai is a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory and is a member of Custer's Research Committee.
