Programming for November 10 – A Talk from author & scientist Ian Tregillis.
Santa Fe author & scientist Ian Tregillis (Bitter Seeds, Something More Than Night, Wild Cards member) returns to give a Talk entitled, “The Math (and Physics) of Wild Cards.”
“The concept is a general-interest science presentation on fake comic-book science, but presented seriously, as if the subject were real, with some depth. It’s a technical presentation describing the development of a mathematical model that explains in a physically rigorous way many of the strange behaviors of the Wild Card virus that are established as canon in the books. (Nothing can explain logically how an alien virus gives people superpowers. But it’s possible to go surprisingly deep into how the virus effects large populations, statistically speaking.) Lots of pretty pictures and animated graphs; it should be fun and quite unique.”
Masks are Welcome inside the Church (just to keep folks healthy)…
Remember, no outside food is allowed at St. Andrew. Please be discreet with any candy. Water/soda bottles and lidded beverage cups are permitted (until we have a clean-up issue), and there is a water fountain in our meeting space.
Newcomers are welcome with a $1.00 contribution to help pay our rent…
DOORS OPEN AT 7:15 PM. Please do not arrive before this time. We have to set up the room ourselves, and straighten/clean-up at the end. Enter through the North door (backside of church) as the courtyard is locked each day at 5:00 pm…
