CoffeeShop Astrophysics in Milwaukee offers free informal lectures on modern science, hosted by postdoctoral researchers from the Leonard E Parker Center for Cosmology, Gravitational, and Astrophysics. The events aim to engage the community and spark interest in astrophysics, with topics ranging from the Big Bang to gravitational waves. Participants can explore the schedule and details on their website, which also indicates plans for a Spring 2015 series featuring guest speakers. The discussions highlight the importance of building community connections through science outreach. Overall, these events provide an accessible platform for learning about complex astrophysical concepts in a relaxed setting.

@Dennisroscoe just won a prize for having the closest guess to how many exoplanets have been discovered to date. I think about 1800!

Can you, the next time you see him, ask why he hasn't accepted my Facebook friend request.

Thanks!

Om, if you have any questions on astrophotography, start a thread or PM me and I'd be happy to help.
No questions this week, on this topic. But, thanks for the offer.
I'm currently trying to understand how the neutron intermediary decay W- boson manifests itself gravitationally.
I spent 5 hours the other day going through the forum, and googling it externally, and read through many explanations.

The only thing I came up with was: "And they call us crackpots?"

Just kidding, of course.

I think the best post was by Humanino, where he stated, in regards to how bizarre the quantum world is; "3 = ∞".

I laughed, heartily, having been similarly confused when I one day saw "7 + 5 = 2", got quite upset, and someone, quite politely pointed out, that I should learn modulo math.
