Presented by Dr. Sarbmeet Kanwal
Humanity has searched long and hard for an alien signal to show us we are not alone in the universe. In 1964 a horn-shaped antenna, that stands on Crawford Hill in Holmdel, accidentally stumbled on a cosmic signal, not from an alien world but from the source from which the universe emerged 14 billion years ago. Does it have a message for us beyond the amazing science it has revealed?
This talk will screen a 10-minute video of the 60th anniversary celebration of this discovery and explore what the cosmic signal may be telling us about our role in the universe.
Dr. Sarbmeet Kanwal, retired from Bell Labs, now teaches Quantum Physics and Astronomy at Brookdale Community College in NJ. With a Caltech PhD, he has won Teacher of the Year and the Earl Thomas Teasley Humanitarian Award. He has also delivered two TEDx talks: “Chaos to Cosmos” and “Reimagining Science — Creating Harmony through Awe.”
