But there&#8217;s SOO much to say! Let&#8217;s spend some time looking at space mistakes. From exploding eye balls to refueling inside stars, let&#8217;s spend some time thinking about ways movies could be better if they got the science (even just a little bit) better.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSpeaker info:<br \/>\nKipp Cannon was born, raised, and educated in Canada, in Toronto and Edmonton. He worked for several years as a postdoctoral researcher, first at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, then the California Institute of Technology, and finally the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, during which time he primarily developed a system for detecting gravitational waves from colliding black holes and neutron stars. He currently a professor of physics at The University of Tokyo, but his qualification for this talk is mainly his life-long past-time watching science fiction.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nDate: Thursday, 18 April 2024<br \/>\nTime: 20:00 (doors open at 19:30)<br \/>\nVenue: Good Heavens, Shimokitazawa<br \/>\nInfo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1159777422048963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1159777422048963<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSpace Cafe Tokyo is hosted by members of ELSI, Kavli-IPMU, UTokyo, and NAOJ. Space Cafe Tokyo brings science a bit closer to the public in a cosy environment in Shimokitazawa. The event is held monthly where we invite experts, scholars, and students in the field of space\/astronomy-related to present a research project or a topic that they are working on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8054,"template":"","news_events_cat":[6],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events\/8051"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events_cat?post=8051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
