Science & The Arts at CUNY Graduate Center.
Science & the Arts presents programs in theatre, art, music, dance and film that bridge the worlds of art and science. Since 2001 we have presented public events ranging from conferences and concerts to science demonstrations on the streets of New York.
All events are held at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York unless otherwise noted.
Lynn Margulis dies at 73
November 27th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
Lynn Margulis, one of our greatest biologists and evolutionary theorists, died this week in Amherst at the age of 73.
Everyone at Nature and Inquiry has been influenced by her profound ideas, especially her research involved with microbiology and symbiosis.
She has been an inspiration and will be greatly missed.
Quantum Wave Theory – A Model of Unity in Nature
October 10th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
“Energy is space in motion. Space is energy at rest.”
All things in the universe generate patterns of energy resulting from their motion.
Quantum Wave Theory is a model of nature that grew in response to several questions: What, exactly, is gravity? How are charge and gravity related? What gives rise to the fundamental unit of energy? And especially, what is space?
Our attempt to answer these questions evolved into conversations that continued for more than a decade. Quantum Wave Theory is an artwork, a prose poem, that is the result of that collaboration. The theory attempts to unify energy, mass and force as manifestations of a single entity. We refer to that entity as space.

Curious, an Introduction to Big Ideas in Nature, Science, and Art
September 6th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
The new online project, Curious, An Introduction to Big Ideas in Nature, Science and Art is an effort to introduce leading-edge ideas in science to a general audience. It is particularly aimed at those who want real answers to serious questions that they have inquired about since childhood, and are often not addressed at home or at school. Much of the reason that these answers aren’t available in primary and secondary classrooms is that some of the most intriguing and even astounding information has only been available within the last 25 years.
Subjects which traditionally have been thought of as largely abstract and unsuited for analysis such as music, love, life, sex, and death suddenly have new and profound meaning in light of late 20th and 21st century discoveries in evolutionary biology, brain science, and genetics. In short, we are undergoing a major revolution in the sciences, and it is having a large impact on our understanding of who we are and how we see ourselves and others.

The Sea Within Us
June 17th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
‘What do you love about the ocean?’ ‘There is some kind of music that lives there’ — late-stage Alzheimer’s patient
The ocean is Nature’s artwork. It provides us with a full sensory experience in 3D, total surround sound, and a varied array of olfactory and tactile delights.
When we compare the experience of reading literature and poetry, listening to great music, visiting a museum, going to the theatre, opera, or ballet with the effect that the ocean has upon us, the similarities are striking.
The ocean awakens and keeps alive in us the sublime order and elegance of Nature. The profound experience it brings resonates with us, because we too are Nature.

Tonight! Cafe Sci Boston
May 23rd, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
Reminder – science cafe tomorrow night!
What: Cafe Sci Boston
When: Monday, May 23, 2011. Doors at 6:30pm. Conversation starts at 7pm.
Topic: Are We Alone?
Where: Middlesex Lounge, 315 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139
Who: NOVA/WGBH and the Kepler Mission
Find them before they find us. Since March 2009 when the Kepler mission was launched, NASA has been collecting information about habitable planets. The first report came out in February 2011. How many habitable planets did the mission find so far?
This is your chance to talk with two colleagues from the Kepler Mission, Natalie Batalha and Jon Jenkins, to answer the question that we all wonder about: are we alone?
Join us to find out while having some great drinks and food!
Find us on Twitter: CafeSciBoston.
