SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe: Are We Alone?
DESCRIPTION:Are We Alone? Thoughts on the Fermi Paradox\n\n\n\nDoes the Cosmos teem with intelligence\, or are we alone? This existential issue eats at our souls. In this talk\, Dr. Brand Fortner will share how we use the Fermi Paradox\, the Drake equation\, the Rare Earth hypothesis\, the Weak Anthropic principle\, the Doomsday calculation\, and the Great Filter to answer this most important of all questions. \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines\, offering the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nBrand Fortner is a teaching professor at North Carolina State University\, where he teaches astronomy\, astrophysics\, and physics\, and is an adjunct professor of physics at UNC-Chapel Hill. Previously holding positions at NASA and Johns Hopkins University\, Brand earned a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in high-energy astrophysics and founded two scientific software companies. Additionally\, he has written books on color vision and technical data and is in high demand for his public lectures on all things astronomical. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!
