SUMMARY:"Sterile Neutrinos: a new particle not known to our Standard Model?"
DESCRIPTION:Photo: PNAS \n  \nAbstract:  \nOver the last year\, sterile neutrinos have been in the news.\nThere is some suggestion that evidence for them is present in experimental data\, but it’s still very uncertain. If they’re real\, it would be very exciting for particle physics\, which has the interesting conundrum of a model that is *too good* — in that it’s been decades since there has been any real surprises in particle physics.  A new and unknown particle would mean that we’re finally venturing into deeper explorations of the fundamental nature of high-energy physics; it could potentially have cosmological implications as well.  In this talk\, I’ll give a summary of the Standard Model of Particle Physics\, and describe how amazingly (and\, indeed\, disappointingly) successful it’s been in predicting and explaining the results of particle physics experiments. I will describe what neutrinos are\, and how regular neutrinos differ from sterile neutrinos.  Finally\, I’ll talk about the possibilities that we’ve seen sterile neutrinos\, and what the implications are. \n  \n— Rob Knop  \nHomepage \nBlog \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection

SUMMARY:Science Trivia
DESCRIPTION:Because the academic year has started again\, we also like to give our teachers the opportunity to make a relaxed start and that is why we will play two full hours of Science-Trivia.\nWalk in when it suits you\, put on some background music\, take care of tea\, coffee or something stronger and arrive home. \nSaturday\, September 8th from 9 AM to 11 AM PDT you have the opportunity to beat our scientists in a steaming science quiz. \n~Team SC

SUMMARY:Two part talk by Dr. Gasior & debate
DESCRIPTION:“Reducing Irreducible Complexity”\n“A Biological Basis for Morality” \nIn this two part talk\, Dr. Gasior discusses two crux arguments in the evolution versus religion debate. \nOne counter concept to Darwinian evolution is the argument that biological systems are designed. And\, an irreducibly complex machine must have had a designer. A deconstruction of this line of reasoning will be produced along with an example of how evolution works to develop biological machines via analogy with handgun development. \nRegardless of the truth of religion\, many people find comfort and feel a need for a system of morality with an omniscient and punishing/redeeming entity. Science does not per se offer a specific system of morality and in fact it is argued it creates a potential sense of loneliness and isolation. The second segment puts forth a biological basis for morality from our understanding of biological diversity and Darwinian evolution. \nThe second segment will begin by watching the first couple minutes of the following video which sets up the conversation.\nNo God = No Morals? (a compilation) \n  \n  \nBeragon Betts will then lead the discussion of 30 minutes.\nIf you would like to participate in the panel\, please contact Beragon via IM from your SC group in SL.\n \n  \nDr. Stephen L. Gasior   \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Open board meeting
DESCRIPTION:From September on\, every third Wednesday of the month\, we hold an open board meeting for the benefit of our members. Here you can contact us with your questions\, create ideas and hopefully together with us\, give substance to our plans for the future.\nDepending on the turnout in the first weeks\, we determine a future location in our own region. By means of a Landing Point you will always arrive at the right location. \nIf this time does not suit you\, please send your questions etc via IM\, notecard or email to Jes or Chantal. We will submit your question\, idea or comment to the board and provide you with the answer.

SUMMARY:Volcano!
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nThe eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii is the latest example of the active role of volcanoes on the Earth. This presentation will present research on what makes certain volcanoes explosive and others gentle. I will also present research on ancient volcanoes in Virginia. Some of  these volcanoes are well understood in terms of plate tectonic theory. Others as researched by James Madison University geologists are still a mystery to science. \n  \nby Dr. William F. Schmachtenberg (Dae Miami SL)  \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
