SUMMARY:Caltech in Washington\, D.C.
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Science and Art in D.C.\nExperience an extraordinary evening in Washington\, D.C.\, where scientific discovery and artistic expression are explored as one. Enjoy an intimate reception followed by a discussion with Nobel Prize-winning physicist Kip Thorne\, PhD (BS ’62) and acclaimed artist Lia Halloran. \nThe event begins with a pre-lecture reception at Tonic\, offering an opportunity to connect with fellow Techers over hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Following the reception\, attendees will walk to the National Academy of Sciences for a public lecture by Thorne and Halloran\, where they will discuss their collaboration\, offering unique perspectives on the cosmos through both scientific theory and artistic interpretation. \nWednesday\, April 2\, 20255:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nEvent Schedule5:00 p.m. – Pre-lecture reception & alumni mixer at Tonic6:15 p.m. – Walk to the National Academy of Sciences6:30 p.m. – Lecture and viewing by Kip Thorne & Lia Halloran8:00 p.m. – Event concludes \nLocations: \nReception:Tonic at Quigley’s2036 G St NW\,Washington\, DC 20036 \nLecture:National Academy of SciencesFred Kavli Auditorium2101 Constitution Avenue NWWashington\, DC 20001 \n$20 per guest which includes hors d’oeuvres\, drinks\, and alumni gift \nRegister by Monday\, March 31\, 2025 \nQuestions?

Their discussion will delve into topics such as spacetime warping\, black holes\, and gravitational waves\, translating rigorous theoretical concepts into visual and literary forms. Through this conversation\, they will offer new perspectives on how artistic interpretation can deepen our understanding of the universe. \nFeatured Speakers\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Kip Thorne\, PhD (BS ’62)\n					\n					A Nobel Prize-winning physicist\, NAS member\, and the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech\, is the author of the best-selling books Black Holes & Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy and The Science of Interstellar. \n					\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Lia Halloran\n					\n					An award-winning artist who has exhibited widely in galleries and museums.
