Description:

Busboys and Poets welcomes A DC Science Café Event…

Gravity, or an homage to the mysteries of universal attraction

Now in its eighth year, DC Science Cafe is brought to you with support from DC Science Writers Association and encouragement from Busboys and Poets.

Free and open to the public.

Copies of the book Gravity's Century by Ron Cowen will be available for purchase in our bookstore during the event. 

For info, contact Ivan Amato, DCScienceCafe@dcswa.org

Without gravity, there would be no up. No down. No falling. No planets with moons. No solar systems. No galaxies. No any of us. Gravity is one of the fundamental forces that governs all that is and how it all came to be over the past 13.7 billion years. Join science writer Ron Cowen and University of Maryland astrophysicist Cole Miller for a gripping tour of gravity that will take you from a 1919 eclipse that really made Einstein’s day, out to the surfaces of neutron stars and the event horizons of black holes, and back again to the gravitational attraction that keeps you planted on the ground and ever-so-subtly pulled toward every other human being on the planet.
