World Science Festival NYC 2008

The World Science Festival is a science festival in New York City. It will take place for the first time from May 28 to June 1, 2008, and is planned as an annual event. The festival features different kinds of presentations: science events for a general audience, which focus on current scientific knowledge on topics ranging from memory and longevity to quantum mechanics, a cultural program under the auspices of actor and writer Alan Alda, with a focus on art and performances inspired by science, and a youth and family program.

The Festival is the brainchild of Columbia University physicist Brian Greene and his wife, Emmy-winning television journalist Tracy Day, who were inspired by a visit to the 2005 Festival della Scienza in Genoa. It is organized by the Science Festival Foundation, a non-profit organization founded for that purpose, and presented in partnership with Columbia University, New York University, CUNY, Rockefeller University and the Cooper Union, as well as cultural institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. Financial support comes from individuals, from numerous foundations (including the Rockefeller Foundation, the Sloan Foundation and the Templeton Foundation), and from corporate sponsors including Credit Suisse.


May 28, 2008 -- One of the presentations at the World Science Festival was the US premiere of the documentary 'Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives' at the Paley Center in Manhattan.

Nothing captures the consciousness of an audience more than humor and the ability of the viewer to connect vicariously with the main characters and story line, coming away with a sense of healing and greater understanding. It was this and more that my friend, Pat, and I experienced at the premiere this evening.

Maybe it's due to the fact that consciousness is ready to hear about quantum theory as reality/relativity move forward in the light, but something drew hundreds of New Yorkers out to see the documentary and hear the speakers. Great theater ... picture perfect weather .. amazing energies.

The film was followed by Q & A with Dr. Max Tegmark, Dr. Michio Kaku, and Dr. Brian Cox who can be seen in many of these videos, working at CERN on the on the Large Hadron Collider, and Mark Oliver Everett (called E), which takes us to harmonics and a band called Eels. Mark Everett is the son of Hugh Everett III, the physicist who proposed the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics.




Many of these mathematicians and physicist agree that reality is
