On June 6, 2013, as part of the cycle of lectures \u201cScience and You\u201d organized by the medical care firm Medif\u00e9 Foundation with the support of the INVAP (Applied Research Company), Fernando Lombardo, Ph. D. in physics, talked about \u201cPhysics and Time Travel\u201d at the Center of Technical Studies Number 2 \u201cJorge Newbery\u201d, in San Carlos de Bariloche. This educational institution celebrates this year its 60th anniversary.<\/p>\n
The aim of this activity was to encourage students to become interested in a science career and to bring science and society closer together.<\/p>\n
In his lecture, Dr. Lombardo tried to make the audience aware of the less common-sense features of time and space and to show how they affect our daily life. He also suggested that the audience imagined the possibility of travelling in space\/time and answered questions such as these: Would you think it easier to travel to the past than to the future? What would you need to be a time traveler? Is humanity going in that direction?<\/p>\n
Fernando Lombardo is professor at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA, in Spanish), member of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, in Spanish) and commentator in the program \u201cScientifics Made in Argentina\u201d, broadcast by a national television channel.<\/p>\n
