Join us for this limited engagement as part of the 11th annual Sci-On! Science + Science Fiction Film Festival, with an introduction to our 6pm dome show by UC Davis Physics Professor Dr. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez, who will tell us about the amazing science discoveries featured in "Secrets of the Universe."
Secrets of the Universe is a sweeping adventure that immerses audiences in the greatest mysteries of our time – puzzles spanning from the infinitesimal to the infinite – and introduces the brilliant minds seeking to unravel them.
Those answers await at the collision points of intellect and imagination, of theory and experiment, of the tiniest particles and most powerful forces in the universe.
Travel with scientist Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez as he journeys to the largest machine ever built, the greatest scientific instrument ever created, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
There, he joins a global team working to uncover another amazing breakthrough in this new world of technology-driven physics. We get an inside look at the machine and come to understand just what it means to do science, teaming up for the flag of humanity to solve the universe’s greatest mysteries.
We don’t stop with the Large Hadron Collider, though. The machines they've built are as diverse as the secrets we’re looking for, and the people looking for them. We travel to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO), the amazing project that recently confirmed Einstein’s century old prediction of the existence of gravitational waves.
Humanity is at the edge of unprecedented scientific discovery, and we can all be a part of it!
Please note: For our afternoon and evening shows, the content featured is not created for younger children (under 7). We regret that we cannot admit any child under 4 to afternoon and evening shows. Our Saturday programs at 10am, 11am, Noon and 1pm are GREAT for families with younger kids.
