The Mechanical Universe Electricty

This series helps teachers demystify physics by showing students what it looks like. Field trips to hot-air balloon events, symphony concerts, bicycle shops, and other locales make complex concepts more accessible. Inventive computer graphics illustrate abstract concepts such as time, force, and capacitance, while historical re-enactments of the studies of Newton, Leibniz, Maxwell, and others trace the evolution of theories.

Imagine that two people have been chosen to be observers in a scien­ tific experiment involving two photons, or quanta of light. These pho­ tons originate from a single source and travel in opposite directions an equal distance halfway across the known universe to points where each will be measured or observed. Now suppose that before the pho­ tons are released, one observer is magically transported to a point of observation halfway across the known universe and the second ob­ server is magically transported to another point an equal distance in the opposite direction.

Hidden from human view, accessible only to sensitive receivers attached to huge radio telescopes, the invisible universe beyond our senses continues to fascinate and intrigue our imaginations.

The Expanding Universe is Martin Kennedy from All India Radio's new project. Exploring the hazier psychedelic side of ambient with references to Berlin school and a 1970s New Age aesthetic, The Expanding Universe debut album 'One' is a cosmic journey into inner space.

In 2012 Ola Kvernberg won the highly regarded Kongsberg Jazz Award, which inspired him to write "Mechanical Fair" for the next Kongsberg festival. With this work as a starting point, Kvernberg has composed entirely new material where full integration of the acclaimed Trondheim Soloists is central. Get ready for a dynamic and ambitious performance!
