About 150 people at this rally to hear Dr. Greene speak about the “curiosity of science, not just a subject left in school”. He said that we all need the temerity to go into the unknown w/ gusto. Most of the lecture was about Albert Einstein questioning How does force of gravity work? (despite Newton), and the discovery of space & time warp & curve, for gravitational waves. Yet Einstein could not find answer to his Unified Theory, nor of String Theory trying to find new dimensions of space. Dr. Greene even mentioned parallel universes, to look further on how the world is put together. He wrapped up by saying that science is indispensable, transends all life on Earth. Candidates Domingo DeGrazia (LD 10 House) and Yahya Yuksel (CD 2) present today talking to people at this rally. Several interesting booths about marijuana, dry ice, solar, 500 Women in Science, drones, buffel grass — till 12 noon.
