See this film: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure [with time travel talk by physics prof] @ the Coolidge
We've seen time travel so often in the movies you have
to wonder why nobody's figured out how to do it in real life. Certainly if the
amiable dunces (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) in Stephen Herek's Bill
and Ted's Excellent Adventure
(1989) can visit past luminaries like Napoleon and "So-crates" via George
Carlin and a phone booth, some actual scientist should have cracked the puzzle by now. Somebody like MIT physics professor Edward
Farhi, who will discuss the subject
following a screening of the film as part of the Coolidge Corner's Science on
Screen series. The Coolidge is at 290 Harvard St, Brookline | Monday, January 30 @ 7 pm | $9; $7
students, seniors | 617.734.2501 or coolidge.org.
