Prince of Darkness
This program will feature an introduction by Dr. Christopher Grant, Associate Professor of Physics at Boston University.
Dr. Grant will explore the connections between Prince of Darkness's fictionalized particle physics and his own work unlocking the mysteries of neutrinos, messenger particles that may help us understand the origins of the Universe.
About Prince of Darkness:
A group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister in an abandoned church, but when they open the container, they inadvertently unleash a strange liquid and an evil force on all humanity. As the liquid turns their co-workers into zombies, the remaining members realize they have released the most unspeakable of horrors, Satan himself, thus paving the way for the return of his father - the all-powerful anti-God. Terror mounts as the last two members of the team must fight to save an innocent world from a devilish fury that has festered for over seven million years.
About Dr. Christopher Grant:
Chris Grant is a professor and Associate Chair of Physics at Boston University whose research uses neutrinos—tiny, nearly invisible particles—to probe some of the biggest mysteries in the universe. He is a leader in the KamLAND2-Zen experiment in Japan and also works on the CUPID experiment in Italy, both searching for an extraordinarily rare process called neutrinoless double beta decay that could reveal why matter came to dominate the universe. He also develops new ways to use neutrinos for nuclear non-proliferation and safeguards, while exploring artificial intelligence and advanced detector technologies for the next generation of particle physics experiments.
