How to Make a Comet in a Pint Glass: Modeling and Experimental Visualization
Friday, April 2nd at 8:00 pm
How did the seventeenth century make its best comets?
Come join us on Friday at 8pm when art historian Matthew Hunter (Caltech) and philosopher of science Roman Frigg (London School of Economics) present footage of an experiment they’ve recreated in the lab — a seventeenth century experiment making a sulfuric acid-based model of comet anatomy, devised by seventeenth century experimental philosopher Robert Hooke. Fun!
