Nobel Prize Winning Physicist to Speak at Marquette Event Information Date: Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005 Time: 7:00 p.m. Place: Weasler Auditorium           1506 W. Wisconsin Ave. The Marquette University departments of Physics and Chemistry will host Nobel Laureate Dr. Eric Cornell as he presents Stone Cold Science: Bose-Einstein Condensation and the Weird World of Physics a Millionth of a Degree Above Absolute Zero, at 7:00 p.m. in the Weasler Auditorium at 1506 W. Wisconsin Ave. on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005. Cornell is known for his work with Carl Wieman and Wolfgang Ketterle examining Bose Einstein Condensation. He will discuss how they were finally able to prove the theory Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein developed in the early 1920's which outlines rules governing the behavior of identical photons or atoms. The ability of Cornell and his partners to confirm this theory has opened up the field of quantum mechanics, allowing physicists to challenge conventional thinking and prove quantum mechanics on a whole new level. It was this work that earned them the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2001. For more information on Cornell, please visit: The Nobel Prize Web Site . The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the parking structure at 749 N. 16th St. Interested media should contact Anne Broeker in the Office of Marketing and Communication.
