Item Description

Over food and drink at Viale in Central Square, hear about their passions, their collaborative work, and their love of the arts and of theater (they are long-time members of the Catalyst Collaborative@MIT Advisory Committee). The package includes two tickets to a CC@MIT production of your choice - Ada and the Engine, or The Half-Life of Marie Curie; and $100 gift card towards dinner.
David Kaiser is a professor of the History of Science and of Physics, and serves as Associate Dean for Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing. He is the author of award-winning books, including How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival. His latest book is Quantum Legacies: Dispatches from an Uncertain World (2020).
Alan Guth is a professor of Physics, his research focussed on Cosmology. From his work on elementary particles in the early universe, he invented a modifcation of the big bang theory called the inflationary universe. He has won many awards, including the 2014 Kavli Prize awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, for “pioneering the theory of cosmic inflation.”
Kaiser and Guth co-direct a research group on early-universe cosmology; the group’s recent efforts to conduct a “Cosmic Bell” test of quantum entanglement were featured in a documentary film, “Einstein’s Quantum Riddle,” which premiered on PBS in 2019.
