    Additional information

    Led by Michele Reilly—an applied physicist and quantum information scientist at MIT with a gift for storytelling—this 90-minute experience invites you to explore time in all its guises: from the Big Bang’s first glimmer to far future possibilities.

     

    Through vivid narratives and hands on creative exercises, you’ll craft your own “time souvenirs”: small works of art, writing, or design inspired by cosmology, entropy, and quantum mechanics.
