"EINSTEIN vs. SANTA"
Dr. Robert Jedicke
Institute for Astronomy
University of Hawaii
7:30 p.m. Thursday, December 13, 2007
****************************************
Is Santa guilty of breaking the laws of physics as expressed in Einstein's Theory of Relativity? Can Santa deliver all his gifts to the good children of the world without breaking the universal limit
set by the speed of light? Dr. Robert Jedicke of the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy will take an entertaining look at Mr. Claus's annual trip from the physicist's perspective. In the process he will introduce the audience to the bizarre effects that take place in a relativistic universe. This will be an equation-free
presentation for those in high school or older.
