Dirac Medal Winner Dr. Paul Steinhardt will deliver the seventh Elston
Memorial Lecture on Gravitation on Saturday, April 5, at Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University. His talk is titled "Endless Universe: What
Lies Beyond the Big Bang?"

Dr. Steinhardt ( http://www.physics.princeton.edu/%7Esteinh/
) is the
Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton University, where he
is on the faculty of the departments of physics and astrophysical
sciences. He was a recipient of the Dirac Prize for theoretical
physics in 2002 and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences. He is also co-author of the popular book, Endless Universe:
Beyond the Big Bang (see http://endlessuniverse.net
for more
information).

At the Elston Memorial Lecture, Dr. Steinhardt will present two
radically different views of the universe: the standard big bang
theory and a new alternative, known as the "cyclic universe." The
lecture will describe how the new picture challenges the conventional
views of space and time and offers a novel vision of the origin,
evolution, and future of the universe.

"Paul Steinhardt is one of the most imaginative thinkers in the world
today," says Dr. Chris Vuille, a personal friend and colleague of
Elston and a faculty in ERAU space physics department. "We're very
lucky to have him. Where Steinhardt goes today, the science of
cosmology goes tomorrow. He's a visionary."
