SUMMARY:Science and Nonduality Conference
DESCRIPTION:Science and Nonduality Conference \nThursday-Sunday\, October 23-26 \nDolce Hayes Mansion\, 200 Edenvale Avenue\, San Jose \nSee website for schedule and registration details \nhttp://scienceandnonduality.com \nhttp://www.hayesmansion.com \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyEsXi_r3rI \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLxdYhbNjOc \n  \n“The Entanglement of Life \n  \nEntanglement is one of the strangest parts of quantum mechanics – so strange\, in fact\, that Albert Einstein famously referred to it as ‘spooky action at a distance.’ An entangled system shows a property that has been measured for the whole but not for parts. For instance\, we may know that the sum of the spins of a pair of two particles is zero\, but neither of them is in a definite state (a condition referred to as superposition)\, particle until one is measured\, causing the other particle to assume the opposite state. The effect is instantaneous\, even if the two particles reside on opposite ends of the universe. \n  \nCuriously\, when science drills down into the core of even the most solid-looking object\, separateness dissolves\, and all that remain are relationships extending throughout\, and possibly beyond\, space and time\, revealing a deeper reality which evokes what sages from all ages and traditions have been describing as one substance – call it consciousness\, call it energy – comprising all the universe and giving rise to all appearances. \n  \nWhen we begin to explore the fabric of reality either through the lens of science or through the lens of spirituality\, a deeper understanding and experience of what we call reality emerges as infinite\, ever present\, interconnected whole. \n  \nWhat is the nature of the universe? \nWhat is the nature of awareness that makes it possible for us to experience the universe? \nIs there a scientifically viable way to explain consciousness? \nWhat is the connection between consciousness and the phenomenon of entanglement? \nIs our current scientific paradigm based on a subject/object split equipped to answer the bigger questions of life? \nIs there evidence of quantum entanglement on a macro scale? \nThese and many more questions will be explored at the next SAND14!”

SUMMARY:Mole Day
DESCRIPTION:Mole Day \nThursday\, October 23\, 6:02AM-6:02PM \nhttp://www.moleday.org \n  \n“Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02AM to 6:02PM\, Mole Day commemorates Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 10^23)\, which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry.  Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles. \nFor a given molecule\, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the atomic mass of the molecule. For example\, the water molecule has an atomic mass of 18\, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. An atom of neon has an atomic mass of 20\, therefore one mole of neon weighs 20 grams. In general\, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This relationship was first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1858) and he received credit for this after his death.”

One thing that we all have in common is an interest in the sky. \n  \nThe PAS holds meetings on the second Friday of each month at 7:30PM on the campus of Foothill College in Los Altos Hills\, CA (between San Jose and Palo Alto).  The meetings are usually held in Room 5015\, next to Parking Lot 5 (see map). Each meeting features a speaker (or speakers) bringing us up to date on different topics in astronomy. The public is welcome to attend these meetings; there is no charge to attend.  Note\, however\, that there is a $3 charge for parking – visitor parking permits are available from the machines in the parking lots.  Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters; bring exact change. Please do not park in spaces marked Staff – you will be ticketed! \n  \nAs part of its commitment to bringing astronomy to the public\, the Peninsula Astronomical Society operates the Foothill College Observatory http://www.pastro.org/dnn/Observatory/FoothillObservatory.aspx. \nThe Observatory is staffed by members of the society who volunteer to conduct the regularly scheduled public programs.\nIn addition to operating the Foothill Observatory\, the PAS has its own observatory in the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains.

Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is first come\, first served. Arrive early to locate parking. \n  \nIs humanity on Earth special or unexceptional? For the first time in human history\, we stand poised to answer this question from a scientific perspective. Extraordinary discoveries in astronomy and biology have revealed a universe filled with endlessly diverse planetary systems\, and a picture of life as a phenomenon intimately linked with the most fundamental aspects of physics. But just where these discoveries will lead us is not yet clear. We may need to find a way to see past the mediocre status that Copernicus assigned to us 500 years ago. To do that we need to come to grips with some of the latest scientific research\, from the microscopic to the cosmic\, which Dr. Scharf will set out in this talk. \n  \nScharf is the author of the widely praised popular book Gravity’s Engines\, which was the basis of the BBC/Science Channel documentary\, Swallowed by a Black Hole. His textbook\, Extrasolar Planets and Astrobiology\, won the 2011 Chambliss Prize. In addition to more than 100 scientific research papers\, he has written non-technical articles for Scientific American\, The New Yorker\, Science\, and other publications\, and has been interviewed frequently for television. His latest book\, The Copernicus Complex\, was just published by Scientific American/Farrar\, Straus and Giroux; he will sign copies after the lecture. Scharf’s appearance at the the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series marks the first time that an author has presented a lecture while on a major book tour. \n  \nThe free lecture series is sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program\, NASA Ames Research Center\, SETI Institute\, and Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Past lectures from the series are available online at www.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html. \nThe free lecture series is sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program\, NASA Ames Research Center\, SETI Institute\, and Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Past lectures from the series are available online at www.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html.\nA number of past Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures are now available free on YouTube on the series’ own channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/SVAstronomyLectures. \nParking lots 1\, 7 and 8 provide stair and no-stair access to the theatre. Visitors must purchase a parking permit for $3 from dispensers in any student parking lot. Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters; bring exact change.

SUMMARY:The Physics of Baseball
DESCRIPTION:The Physics of Baseball \nwith Tucker Hiatt and Marc “Zeke” Kossover \nA production of Wonderfest \nWednesday\, September 24\, 7:00-9:00PM \nSoMa StrEat Food Park\, 428 11th Street\, San Francisco \nFree\, please register at the website below \nhttp://wonderfest.org/physics-of-baseball \nhttp://www.meetup.com/wonderfest/events/203949892 \nhttp://somastreatfoodpark.com \n  \n  \n“Spring is no longer in the air\, and the grass is worn down. But excitement is building as the boys of summer become the play-off boys of October – with the end of the Major League Baseball season. Please join two veteran physics teachers as they explain – and demonstrate – the physical nuances of the game: how a curve ball curves\, why a 550-foot homer is so unlikely\, how the half-millisecond collision of ball-on-bat is so beautifully complex. From aerodynamics to energy conservation\, and from Magnus force to center of percussion\, you be the umpire as simple physics illuminates our national pastime. \n \nTucker Hiatt\, long-time physics teacher\, Stanford Visiting Scholar (emeritus!)\, and Wonderfest Founding Director *AND* Marc ‘Zeke’ Kossover\, long-time physics teacher\, Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow to the National Science Foundation\, and Teacher in Residence and Co-Director of the Leadership Program at the Eploratorium.”
