Event
Demonstrations of science so strange you’ll find it hard to believe they’re real!
This show explores many aspects of how the world will look in the future – from lasers and spaceships to cyborgs and super-materials, you’ll see how science-fiction is becoming science-fact!
During the show, we’ll connect up a sound system using only people, use an invisible torch to see in the dark, control electromagnetic fields with our hands and you’ll see a live demonstration of an object disappearing while you watch.
We’ll also look at the future technologies like wireless power and cloaking devices that are actually being worked on by scientists and demonstrate the ideas in use!
