SUMMARY:Lasers and Lightsabers: From Fusion Energy to Movie Magic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic\, visually rich presentation blending cutting-edge science with behind‑the‑scenes storytelling from the world of filmmaking. 🚀🎬 \nIn “Lasers and Lightsabers\,” our guest speaker\, Brian Lindow\, draws on years of experience at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and nearly a decade working at Skywalker Ranch to create an unforgettable program for audiences of all ages. \nThis 45–60 minute presentation begins with a short segment from CBS’s 60 Minutes highlighting the breakthrough of fusion ignition at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)—a project the speaker personally contributed to. From there\, attendees will explore the history of the lab\, its mission\, and daily life inside a major national research facility. \nThe “Lightsabers” portion of the presentation brings attendees inside the iconic Skywalker Ranch\, with photos\, stories\, and insider perspectives from Brian’s years working with George Lucas and contributing to the filmmaking process. \n\nThe presentation concludes with a hands‑on science showcase 🧪\, where attendees can examine real props including:\n• a giant salt crystal 🧂\n• laser targets 🎯\n• aerogel — the world’s lightest manmade material ☁️ \nEveryone is invited to hold the aerogel and explore the science materials up close at the end of the session. 👋🔍 \n\n\nFree and open to the public.
