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.
