What Does The Universe Sound Like? | Live Lecture + Stand-Up Comedy
About this Event
What if you could actually hear the universe?
Dr. Matt Russo is an astrophysicist, musician, and sonification specialist who has spent his career turning astronomical data into sound - from planetary systems to stars and even black holes.
His work has been featured by NASA and The New York Times, and his TED Talk What Does the Universe Sound Like? has been viewed nearly 2 million times.
On September 12th, he's bringing that journey to Laugh & Learn.
Here's how the night works:
First → stand-up comedy to warm up the room
Then → Matt takes over
Get ready to hear the universe in a completely different way - exploring the sounds hidden inside the movements, patterns, and data of the cosmos.
What you'll actually learn:
- How scientists turn astronomical data into sound
- What planets, stars, and black holes can actually “sound” like
- How sound can help us experience and understand the universe differently
- The surprising connection between music and astronomy
This is for you if:
- You love space but don't want another boring astronomy lecture
- You're fascinated by black holes, planets, stars and the weirdness of the universe
- You like science, music, or both
- You want a night out that's genuinely fascinating AND funny
