A Conversation with the Stars
Dr. Mark Bowen will be on hand to discuss the Fermi Paradox. What is the Fermi Paradox you ask? Well, physicist Enrico Fermi wondered why, given the immense scale of the galaxy and the many planets (3906 confirmed as of early December, 2019) within it, there isn't evidence of a single intelligent civilization beyond our's on Earth. There's so much out there, and so many places life *could* thrive. Where is that life then? Good question! Dr. Bowen will help you figure it out.
Mark Bowen is one of GCC's own: He's been teaching the wonders of astronomy and physics to GCC students for the past 3.5 years. Prior to his arrival, Mark was at Humboldt State University, UC Davis, The Berkeley Space Science Lab and the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. He holds a Ph.D in Physics Education and will spend the evening educating us on the astrophysics of life in the Universe.
