NightLife - the Physics Circus

Come one, come all: the Physics Circus returns to NightLife this week. Ringmaster Zeke Kossover will dazzle and delight with a wide array of physics demonstrations.  Can you really break the bottom out of beer bottle just with your hand? Are personal hovercrafts the wave of the future? Can you light a bulb in liquid nitrogen? Is walking on glass as safe as physicists claim? These questions and more will be answered as Zeke and his crew will explain the physics behind the dazzling experiments. You may even be drafted into the show. After all, Zeke can’t sledgehammer a bed of nails into his chest by himself.

Also, explore the heavens with members of the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers (SFAA), led by member and astronomy blogger, Paul Salazar. You'll discover how our view of the night sky changes from month to month and come away with the basics of how to find your way around the sky. Weather permitting, you’ll get to travel up to the living roof to put your new knowledge to the test.

Music for this edition of NightLife will be provided by Disco Shawn.

Age 21 and over, with valid ID. Tickets are available online or at the door.
