Sun Jun 02 – The Universe: What was it at the Beginning? (Part 1)

Our event starts at 11 am on the 2nd floor of the Koffler House (569 Spadina Avenue).  Social 10:45am – 11:00am.

Alex Beckmann

The Big Bang – what do we know about it and how did it happen? Do we have any measurable traces of the Universe in its very early stages of life? What does the word “Inflation” mean outside of financial markets?  Our featured speaker Alex Beckmann will address these questions in his talk.

Alex studied physics in Kharkiv, Ukraine.  He did his Ph.D. in theoretical physics in String and Field Theory.  He taught physics at the high school and university levels in Ukraine and Germany.  Alex currently lives and works in Toronto.  His work in Toronto is in IT and involves cloud-based solutions for markets, investment banking, and research.  However, Alex still enjoys teaching physics!

Kid Grit

Our guest musician will be Kid Grit.  Kid Grit’s folk songs are quiet and pensive reflections of a life lived. From the depths of isolation possible in a digital age, to the heights of exaltation, living and growing up in nature. His music travels through the processes of life and how we heal, through gentle whisperings, swelling warm harmonies, and sometimes painful personal admissions – attempting to find peace and truth in the smallest of things.
