Dedicated to Albert Einstein. In light of the recent experimental confirmation of the existence of gravitational waves, which forces us to come to terms with his theory of relativity developed a hundred years ago, the Science Festival is back for the eleventh time at the Parco della Musica with an issue in the sign of the more pop scientist in history. Entitled “Relativity” and is scheduled for May 20 to 22 under the direction of Vittorio Bo and Jacopo Romoli. Three days of conferences, shows and exhibitions “to reveal the simple face of science,” said President of Music for Rome Aurelio Regina, with whom the event earns the title of longest running event of the Auditorium.
from “Mit” Scott Hughes and David Kaiser
“Long-lived and loved – said Regina – because in eleven years has involved more than 200 thousand people, 20 thousand in just 2015, demonstrating Einstein was right to say: the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. ” Expected, among others, Fulvio Ricci experiment Virgo detector for gravitational waves (those “ripples” of spacetime assumed as a result of relativity), Giovanni Amelino Camelia, Elena in April and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Scott Hughes and David Kaiser, author of “How the hippies saved physics.” Then Mario Rasetti and Seth Lloyd grappling with ‘big data’, Ned Markosian, Rafael Núñez, Giovanni Bignami and Nicholas D’Amico. “With them we will also confirm the image of unconventional scientist who gave us Einstein – said Vittorio Bo – that if we are a bit ‘naive, but no less rigorous, of a man who has not locked up in his laboratory but has been protagonist of the company, bringing in civil battles and ideas as pacifism. For a science “sympathetic” able to enter the hearts of all. ”
So many initiatives dedicated to schools
the protagonist of the first lectio, dedicated to the new challenges of science, cosmologist João Magueijo, known for the theory of variable speed light but also the author of a biography of Ettore Majorana and a provocative collection of British vices. “In the name of Einstein – said R. José Dosal, with Music for Rome – this edition will be a fascinating journey that ranges from pure physics to the humanities, in a fun and spectacular.” There are many initiatives dedicated to schools: from meeting with the Education Minister Stefania Giannini (May 20, 9:30 am, Sala Petrassi) to “Animated Readings”, until the screening of the science fiction film “Interstellar” by Radio 3 Science.
