If you tuned in to last Tuesday's Astronomy Ireland Radio Show (AIRS) you will have heard cosmologist Brian Coleman talking about Einstein's theory of relativity and his lecture tonight "Time Travel Illustrated" This is all part of AI's contribution to Einstein Year. Brian will also speak at Astro-Expo in November (Ireland's biggest astronomy weekend) You can hear Brian's (AIRS) interview online at www.astronomy.ie/AIRS050705.MP3 Amazingly, you can get the script of the interview, packed with historical links to Ireland's involvement with Einstein's work at: http://www.astronomy.ie/BCtimeTravel.pdf Enormous thanks to Brian for providing that. RTE Radio's MORNING IRELAND show were to interview Brian this morning. Independent Network Radio News are transmitting hourly notices about the lecture today also. So it should be well attended, and rightly so, as Brian promises that if you concentrate you will understand the theory of relativity by the end of his talk! Brian has developed a new graphical way of explaining the in's and out's that he says is much easier to understand. In the process he will explain Time Travel. It should make for a very entertaining evening. You can just come along tonight Monday July 11 or you can book places by simply replying to this email. Lecture is at 8pm, doors open 7:30pm. Venue is: DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY in the Henry Grattan Building (lecture hall CG12) For maps and background details see: www.astronomy.ie/lecture0507.html EVERYONE IS WELCOME - so bring friends.
