Playing with Time
You are Viewing a Past EventIf this is a recurring event that will be happening again this year, please let us know.
Journey through the mysterious unseen world of natural change. Experience events that happen too fast or too slow for humans to perceive, and explore the technologies we use to detect and manipulate time.
Much of scientific inquiry examines how things change: how energy is transferred from one electron to another; how a species evolves to adapt to its environment; how a typical storm system turns into a full-scale hurricane. To study changes that happen too quickly or too slowly for direct human observation, scientists use a variety of time-manipulating tools—from high-tech computer software to simple recording devices. In Playing with Time, you too can manipulate time to glimpse the invisible dynamics continually altering the face of our planet, the cosmos, and life itself. Peer through a high-powered microscope to search lake cores for evidence of long-ago climate changes. Slow down video footage of a blink to discover which eyelid does the most work. Using an interactive computer program, turn the clock back—or forward—to reveal major geological events like volcanic eruptions, glacial migration, and land erosion. In Playing with Time, you’ll speed up or slow down seconds, days, and centuries to reveal the fascinating transformations hidden in the nuances of time.
