Time: Behind and Beyond the ClockFriday, April 26, 2024 | 6–8:30 p.m.
We set the alarm, we run to catch a plane, we celebrate birthdays, and we watch a fleeting sunset knowing the sunrise always comes too soon. We are creatures of our clocks, tick tick-ticking away. There’s never enough time in a day unless, of course, we’re waiting in line. Are we consumed with time, or is the time consumed by us? And just how do we define time?
This engaging and educational look at time will not only cover the history of time, but the exploration of the science behind its measure and the technology of time transfer. You will also learn about the intricate applications of time in diverse realms – such as aerospace and defense, commercial enterprise, automation, and media.
Plus, learn about how the critical precision timing for the world’s most time-sensitive users can have catastrophic and/or astronomically expensive consequences.
