About the Event
Scientists can now describe the unfolding cosmos with unprecedented precision, yet major mysteries remain, including the nature of expanding space, the need for dark matter and dark energy, and the possibility that our universe is but one of many separate realities. Join a conversation with leading researchers who will take us right to the edge--and just beyond--what we know about the deepest mysteries of the cosmos.

Moderator: Brian Greene
Participants: Wendy Freedman, Katherine Freese, and Will Kinney

About the Event
Journey to the very frontier of astrophysical exploration, from black holes that may have been produced in the big bang, to the search for life on moons orbiting distant planets, to the mind-bending speculation that we may be able to create wormholes—tunnels through spacetime—in the laboratory.

Moderator: Brian Greene
Participants: Daniel Jafferis, Joseph Lykken, David Kipping, Priyamvada Natarajan, and Maria Spiropulu

During our theater production of Bruised But Not Broken, you will step into the lives of the Thomas sisters as they learn more about themselves and each other. Watch as they unveil pieces of themselves…the pieces that they didn't want anyone to see…the parts of themselves they were ashamed of and tried so desperately to hide.

Bruised But Not Broken is about healing when you think you were too messed up, too damaged, and too bruised to heal. This production teaches you how to get up after you have fallen. God's ability to take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it into good is manifested in every scene. Remember, bitter becomes sweet when you put it in the Master's hands.
