The popular TV show FRINGE featured fantastical stories that included time travel, parallel universes, quantum entanglement, genetic engineering, immersive man-‐machine interfaces, and artificial evolution. Are any of these things real? Is the science sound? Will we ever have the engineering knowledge to build the technology that could turn science fiction into science fact? And if we did, how would these new developments affect society in terms of individual freedom, ethical behavior, and self-‐determination? Come to this exciting lecture by Professor Tilley to hear more about how you can help shape our future. Following the lecture at approximately 9pm on Friday, August 22, and weather permitting, Florida Techs Student Astronomical Society will open up the 32 Ortega telescope for public viewing, and have 3 smaller telescopes on hand for astronomical hors doeuvres. If you are interested in some hands-on astronomy, have a telescope or are thinking about getting one, then at 6:30pm the Melbourne Astronomical Society will be meeting in room 144 of the Olin Physical Sciences building. Maps and directions for all these events can be found online at: cos.fit.edu/pss/aapls.php
