Tuesday, October 2, 2012 - 12:00pm

Dr. Phil Plait, Astronomer, Author (Bad Astronomy, Death from the Skies), Discovery Channel TV Host (Phil Plait's Bad Universe)

You�۪ve heard the rumours: The Mayans predicted that the end of the world will occur on December 21, 2012. Books have been written, documentaries aired, even a major motion picture was made based on this idea. But is it real? In a word: Nope! In this lecture, Dr. Phil Plait will use firm science and lots of humour to show why there�۪s nothing to fear. No mega solar flares, no galactic alignment��_and, in fact, the Mayans didn�۪t even really predict the end of the world at all!

Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Time: 12 noon - 1: 30 p.m.
Location: North Campus, Seventh Semester (KB111)

This event is complimentary. Everyone welcome! Teachers are encouraged to bring their classes. When bringing classes to lectures, please RSVP. Please contact Melanie Chaparian.
