Michio Kaku
Start date:
End date:
Michio Kaku is a leader in the field of theoretical physics, cofounder of string field theory, and author of Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100.
In Physics of the Future, Kaku—author of Physics of the Impossible, Beyond Einstein and Hyperspace—gives us a stunning, provocative, and exhilarating vision of the coming century based on interviews with over three hundred of the world’s top scientists who are already inventing the future in their labs.
In all likelihood, by 2100 we will control computers via tiny brain sensors and, like magicians, move objects around with the power of our minds. Meanwhile, cars will drive themselves, using GPS; using molecular medicine, scientists will be able to grow almost every organ of the body and cure genetic diseases; and, advances in nanotechnology may lead to the fabled space elevator, which would propel humans hundreds of miles above the earth’s atmosphere at the push of a button.
Synthesizing a vast amount of information, including key questions about a changing global economy, Physics of the Future is a wondrous ride through the next 100 years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
Dining in the Dark
Start date:
End date:
Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) will hold a Dining In The Dark event on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at The Water Tower, located at 3005 River Road
Cocktails at 7:00 Pm and Dinner at 8:00 Pm
Why Dine in the Dark?
In this era of information overload, visual stimulation has reached an all time pinnacle. But imagine, just for an hour or two that you cannot see, much like the children of VIPS.
This is Dining in the Dark.
With the complete loss of vision and the resulting
heightening of the other four senses, this promises to be an extraordinary culinary adventure. Your sense of smell will radiate and you will become more receptive to the differences in texture, consistency and temperature.
Get ready for your taste buds to work overtime!
Dining in the Dark will include an exclusive art auction this year, with pieces featured in ReVision. This exhibition will take place between January 20th-February 18th at Louisville Visual Art Association, located at The Water Tower.

This month we will be at The Troll Pub Under the Bridge, a brand new subterranean sports pub located beneath the Whiskey Row Lofts, next to the Clark Bridge (2nd Street Bridge) and KFC Yum! Center (look for the large troll). This newly renovated space “ranks among the most appealing downtown renovations in recent years” according to Metro Mix and features arched limestone doorways, exposed brick walls, an urban courtyard, and a hidden private room (make sure to ask us for secret password). So come join us as we mingle with Louisville’s finest newbies! Plan to meet in the bar area. Look for the signs and people with New2Lou nametags.
What is New2Lou? New2Lou is a social organization designed as a resource for transplants to Louisville, who are looking to meet people, try new places and get involved in Louisville. The second Wednesday of each month, New2Lou hosts a social at a local restaurant or bar, where people mingle and meet other newcomers, as well as meet locals who provide insiders’ information to make the transition to Louisville a smooth one.
What do we do? Socialize, meet new people, ask advice for places to eat, go to the doctor, live, park, etc. Where can I hear free music? Best drink specials on Wednesdays? What about my haircut? Where do I get breakfast at 4 in the morning? Come find out why people are moving to Louisville and why they can leave but almost always come back.
