- **Event Name**: Science Pub: The Edge of Space-Time
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: An evening of physics and philosophy with award-winning cosmologist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein.
A special Science Pub lecture in concert with the release of Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s newest book, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie.

Drawing on poetry and popular culture—from Langston Hughes, Queen Latifah, and Lewis Carroll, to Big K.R.I.T., Sun Ra, and Star Trek—Dr. Prescod-Weinstein recontextualizes some of the more abstract concepts of theoretical physics to be more accessible to anyone interested in learning about the history and fundamental nature of our universe.

Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes, and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity, following our speaker to the far reaches of the cosmic event horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino.

Along the way,  informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought, Prescod-Weinstein will challenge listeners to imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity’s undeniable connection with the stars, viewing physics as an essential way for everyone to look at the universe.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
