Damn! Where do I post (brag about) this?

Top scientists gather in Dallas to dissect space, matter, time

One of the world’s most prestigious scientific conferences is happening at The University of Texas at Dallas and I get to attend one.

It takes place every two years and meets in different world wide locations. Recent meetings have taken place in Jerusalem, Florence and Melbourne. The meeting is known as the Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics and as one of the speakers at the symposium said: “If you ask a person on the street, say, in Chicago, ‘What is Texas famous for?,’ they’ll say cowboys, or oil, or pickup trucks. But if you ask a physicist throughout the world, the thing they associate with Texas is relativistic astrophysics,”

More than 450 experts on gravity, black holes and the newly discovered Higgs boson — the subject of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics — will gather in Dallas to discuss the newest findings and most pressing mysteries in their fields.

Can’t wait!

P.S. (And no, my name isn’t Sheldon!)

They better be designing either a warp drive or flying cars.

#3

or 3d printers that print flying cars using warp drive

Congratulations CPU! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit jealous. :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

Are Stephen Hawking and Bill Nye gonna be there?

#7

Roger Penrose who shared the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics with Stephen Hawking will be there. So will Alexi Starobinsky, who developed the first realistic inflation theory. Michael Turner, who coined the term dark energy will be there too along with Roy Kerr who discovered what’s called the Kerr vacuum which is an exact solution to the Einstein field equation of general relativity.

#8

All those people better be able to open a portal to something or I’m going to lose hope in science.

#9

They are waiting for you CPU.

In the tesst chamburrr.

#10

I want my flying cars and hoverboards. 2015 is almost here guys.

#11

screw flying cars, they should figure out how to make the headphone jack on portable devices last longer and not break after like, 1 drop

#12

I’ve never had that break. Ever.

I’ve had charging ports and volume controls break, but never headphone ports.

#13

Plot twist: HL3 is never gonna be released because we need to live through HL1 through EP2 and MAKE HL3 a reality.

We’re counting on you CPU. Make us slaves. Make us proud.
