Packed House at February's Astro on Tap

At the February 5th Astro on Tap at Sudwerk Brewery in Davis, there was not even standing room. Those who showed up a little late just could not get in. On the docket were Professor Sean Carroll, of Johns Hopkins University and the Santa Fe Institute, and our own Professor Andrew Wetzel. Professor Carroll talked about the origin of complexity, the second law of thermodynamics, and the arrow of time with its origins in the low-entropy conditions of the big bang. Professsor Wetzel followed with a presentation about the formation of our Milky Way galaxy. College of Letters and Science writer Greg Watry was there and wrote about Wetzel's presentation for an article in the L & S Magazine.
