Laugh & Learn · Live lecture + stand-up comedy
What Does The Universe Sound Like?
What if you could actually hear the universe? Laugh & Learn brings stand-up comedy plus a live lecture with astrophysicist and musician Dr. Matt Russo — turning space data into sound at Ace of Spades Lounge on Saturday, October 3rd. Rescheduled from September 12.
First, stand-up comedy warms up the room. Then Matt takes over — exploring the sounds hidden inside the movements, patterns, and data of the cosmos.
Dr. Matt Russo is an astrophysicist, musician, and sonification specialist whose work has been featured by NASA and The New York Times. His TED Talk What Does the Universe Sound Like? has been viewed nearly 2 million times.
You'll learn how scientists turn astronomical data into sound, what planets, stars, and black holes can "sound" like, and the surprising connection between music and astronomy — without another boring lecture.
