Union Hall’s “Secret Science Club” is back with more mind-bending lectures, chemical libations, and star-gazing sounds!! Wednesday, February 7th @ 7:30 pm Union Hall’s “Secret Science Club” presents:

Infinite Questions with physicist/astronomer Janna Levin and the music of Jane LeCroy and Transmitting
Buckle up, and journey into the cosmos with author and physicist Janna Levin, as she explores mathematics, literature, and the secrets of the universe. A professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College, Levin delves into the issues of madness and genius, transfinite arithmetic, chaos and curved spacetime, time warps, invisible strings, and naked singularities.

The author of A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines and How the Universe Got Its Spots, Levin asks: Is the universe infinite or just really big? Can there be a Theory of Everything? How do scientists of the past (notably logician Kurt Godel and code-breaker Alan Turing) help us understand key questions in physics? What is knowable…

By day, neurobiologist David Sulzer studies the intricate mechanisms of the brain. By night, his alter ego David Soldier composes music, runs his own record label and plumbs previously unexplored musical terrain…. Now for the first time, David Sulzer faces off with himself (David Soldier) on the Secret Science Club’s "Night of the Doppelganger"!

David Sulzer lectures on "The Neuroscience of the Soul"
In 3 lbs of gray matter lodged in our skulls, each of us houses 100 billion brain cells. Every thought, word, and deed is governed by complex electrochemical activities taking place in nanoseconds. But what about the brain makes each of us unique? At his lab at Columbia University, professor and neurobiologist David Sulzer is uncovering processes that have eluded scientists and philosophers alike. Don’t miss one microsecond!

David Soldier performs with the Spinozas
Composer Dave Soldier's new group,the Spinozas, explores and expands on seminal European pop traditions. …
