About the event

SpaceTime TeaTime

Explore the weird and wonderful qualities of time travel and black hole physics with MIT physics professor Scott Hughes and his students.

Using movies and TV shows as the serving platter, you’ll nosh upon different facets of astrophysical relativity and chat about their intersection with history, technology, pop culture, and the universe as we know it today.

This special afternoon “relativi-tea” includes a delicious traditional afternoon tea, offering a selection of teas, pastries, and finger sandwiches to enjoy while you ponder the conundrums of time and space around a black hole. Food for thought has never been so tasty!
