Movie Screening Session: "The Universe in a Grain of Sand" + Q&A

ANCILLARYEVENT · EVW-AA09 · ID: EVW-AA09

From the director of Particle Fever—the documentary chronicling the discovery of the Higgs boson—and The Bit Player—a portrait of information-theory pioneer Claude Shannon—The Universe in a Grain of Sand offers a meditation on how we make sense of the world. Interweaving scientific advances—from Leibniz to Quantum Computing—with works by more than forty artists, the film explores how both scientists and artists transform their understanding of nature into new tools that probe the universe's deepest mysteries. A Q&A with director Mark Levinson and Physics Magazine editor Matteo Rini will follow the screening.
