The Science of Science Fiction (A Free, Hybrid Lecture)

Have you ever looked at the transporter in Star Trek or the rotating, artificial gravity spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey and wondered “Is that actually possible?” We have all been enthralled by the imaginings of Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Gene Roddenbury, Jules Verne and so many others who have foreshadowed future science. History is full of “fiction” that later became reality, like hand-held communication devices, tablets, and space satellites. But the term “science fiction” is a misnomer in that it is generally not fiction about science. The genre is more appropriately titled “speculative fiction” since authors are free to speculate about what might have been, what is, and what might be. When these speculations are carried out subject to the constraints of physical law, we have what is called “Hard Science Fiction.” This lecture will delight all who appreciate the so-called “sci-fi” genre as they will discover what might have been, what is, and what might yet be subject to the constraints of physical law.&nbsp;
After the lecture, weather permitting, in-person attendees will enjoy stargazing by telescope with Hamptons Observatory astronomers. Feel free to bring your own telescope.
<a href="https://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dr. Frederick Walter&nbsp;</a>is an observational astronomer. He was a professor of Astronomy at Stony Brook University (SBU) since 1989 and has been Professor Emeritus since December 2025. He has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from MIT, received his PhD in Astronomy from the University of California at Berkeley, and spent eight years as a postdoc at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He was a member of the Instrument Development Team of the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph, one of the first-generation science instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. He has also observed with other space telescopes, including the International Ultraviolet Explorer. His research interests include galactic novae, the formation of low mass stars, the birth and death of stars, and stellar magnetic activity (stellar weather). Dr. Walter was formerly a member of the Board of Directors of the Associated Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) and is the Stony Brook representative to the Astronomical Society of New York.&nbsp;

Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a classic of American Literature that many think deepens in significance with repeated readings. A memorable literary and cultural reflection on The Twenties, it expresses a complex &nbsp;theme of longing and loss that resonates today. The green light at the edge of Daisy’s dock goes out as we move through the world, sadder, not always wiser, but it can still pulse occasionally, an ambiguous memory of what was or might have been in our own lives and in the life of our country.
This is a hybrid program, held in person and on Zoom. A Zoom meeting ID and password will be emailed to all participants the day of the event.

ARTS CENTER AT DUCK CREEK FARM

The Arts Center at Duck Creek (<a href="https://www.duckcreekarts.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.duckcreekarts.org/</a>) is set to host their fourth annual Airing of the Quilts on Saturday, May 2 from 12 to 5 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, May 3. All are welcome to participate in airing their quilts in this celebration of community, creativity and the arrival of spring. This cherished tradition symbolizes the transition from winter into spring. The age-old practice of quilt-making fosters creativity, storytelling and community across generations. 

From 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. participants are invited to come out and hang their quilts for all to see. From 12 – 5 p.m., guests are welcome to walk the grounds and view an array of quilts, new and old, including 3 years of Community Quilts made for this event. 

Duck Creek exhibitor Andrea Cote will lead two Cyanotype Quilt Square Workshops, taking place at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Each guest will receive a piece of light-sensitive fabric and create a quilt square, using nothing but objects and sunlight. Finished squares will be sewn together by Louise Eastman to create the 2026 Duck Creek Community Quilt. Additional squares will be available for guests to work on at home. 

“Bringing the Airing of the Quilts tradition to Duck Creek was the inspired vision of local artist Louise Eastman. The event weaves together everything Duck Creek holds dear: community, craft, and the joy of a new season. Everyone is invited to hang their quilts, share the stories behind them, and collaborate on our yearly Community Quilt. It is, in every sense, a perfect expression of Duck Creek's mission to make the arts inclusive and accessible,” shares Duck Creek Executive Director Jess Frost.

We are grateful to collaborate with Hope And Resilience Long Island (HARLI) to bring you an informative and meaningful discussion bringing awareness to human trafficking and the actionable steps we can take to prevent it. Bianca C. Collins, Vice President of HARLI and enrolled tribal citizen of the Shinnecock Nation, Alyssa Harrilal, a survivor of human trafficking and member of the ECLI-VIBES Survivors board, and Nina Hobson, a former British detective and current Head of Security for global executive protection teams, are joined by moderator Patricia McCormick, the best-selling author of SOLD and Never Fall Down. 
All speakers and the moderator have unique expertise on human trafficking, providing a depth of knowledge and sensitivity aimed to illuminate a difficult yet critical topic.
Following the discussion there will be a Q&amp;A of pre-submitted questions from the audience; to submit, <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6YU5Y7EujCuE8w3St0TPX9HRKPayc5oCQOL5P-CZuE4ij8Q/viewform?usp=publish-editor" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">please click here</a>. 
The discussion will address: What is human trafficking, and how does happen locally? What current preventative measures are being pursued and legislated by governments and law enforcement? And most importantly, what actionable steps can we take as a community to de-escalate the rising number of human trafficking cases?
With national attention on global scandals that have involved human trafficking and sexual exploitation, sharing awareness of the trafficking that happens in our own local area is critical for galvanizing support and change.Come listen, hear, and believe the voices of survivors and help amplify their calls to action.
