Charlie K. and physicist Brian Greene will be at the Rubin Museum of Art on Saturday, talking about time and how it passes us by. From the Rubin Museum site:

The creator of timewarping films Synecdoche, New York and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets the famous proponent of string theory to understand how time passes us by. Greene is currently working on a cantata with Philip Glass and David Henry Hwang based on his children's book Icarus at the Edge of Time, to be premiered at this year's World Science Festival.

Unfortunately it appears to be sold out, though tickets may be available if you happen to be a Chairman Circle Member (more info at the link above). Brian Greene must be one popular dude. He sure has come a long way since Beverly Hills 90210.

One of BCK's regular correspondents will be there -- if anything spectacular goes down, I'll be sure to get all the info out of him.

I was awful at Physics in high school. Awful. The mathematics of it all was apparently beyond me. But I love reading about String Theory and quantum physics and the LHC  (I particularly recommend Lisa Randall's Warped Passages), so this sounds right up my alley. PLUS. CHARLIE WILL BE THERE. He's up my alley too. That doesn't sound right.
