X-WR-CALDESC:The Silicon Valley Lectures Series - YouTube Livestream\n\n\nO
 n Wednesday\, Apr. 17th\, 2024 at 7 pm (PDT)\, Dr. Paul Halpern (St. Joesp
 h’s University) will give a free\, illustrated\, non-technical lecture ent
 itled:\n\n“The Allure of the Multiverse: Beyond the Limits of Direct Obser
 vation'\n\nThe talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series
 \, now in its 24th year.  \n\nAbout the Talk:\nGiven that the extent of th
 e observable universe has yet to be mapped out\, some might wonder why som
 e physicists have introduced the concept of a multiverse into their models
 .  This talk will examine why some eminent physicists\, such as the late N
 obel laureate Steven Weinberg\, have been attracted to the idea of the mul
 tiverse\, and others\, such as Princeton cosmologist Paul Steinhardt\, hav
 e raised significant concerns.  We’ll also show that the cultural (think M
 arvel movies) and scientific ideas of multiverses differ significantly.\n
 \n \nAbout the Speaker:\nPaul Halpern is Professor of Physics at Saint Jos
 eph’s University and the author of eighteen popular science books. The rec
 ipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Fulbright Scholarship\, and an Athen
 aeum Literary Award\, he has appeared on numerous radio and television sho
