The physics of different wave lengths of light  and its effects on our moods,m physiology and surroundings.  Covering light polluntion issues.

Forget everything you thought you knew about time. This isn’t a lecture—it’s a journey through quantum weirdness, and the ticking clock in your head. From ancient rhythms to Einstein’s spacetime, from photons that don’t experience time to brains that bend it, we’ll reimagine time not as a backdrop—but as one of the biggest mysteries in the universe. Is time real? Or is it just messing with us?

The movement toward healthy food choices has attracted lots of attention and created as much confusion.  Backed by nearly 2 years of personal experience, Jerry has examined one clear lifestyle and will share his findings.

Ron was prepared to make hydrogen and use it to shoot rockets across the room,   Recreation Center withdrew permission 10 minutes before his demonstration.  Reduced to an 'improv' presentation, Ron gifted us with a 'refresher' or reading the periodic table, the HONC elements (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon) of of life, and how to prove water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.  (He did show electric current from a simple electrolyte + water and the hydrogen emitted from the pole of a fire alarm-type 9volt battery in salt solution.)

We'll discover how stars formed and continue to form. We will look at the sun among the wide variety of stars, and understand how it works. We'll look at the death of stars, including our sun, and see how supernovas made us possible.

Even though there is some truth to them all....  using available evidence, we looked at these many claims including geo-engineering, HAARP, and other conspiracy theories.  Some are funny - some are outrageous - and most contain an abundance of sky-is-falling rhetoric.  Caution.  Do not over-medicate prior to this talk.  Numerous natural factors have caused global warming and cooling for billions of years.  What is the evidence for the overwhelming scientific consensus that the current extrordinary warming is caused mainly by greenhouse gases released from humans burning fossil fuels?  What alternative explanations have been proposed, and are they credible?

Jean,  The Beekeeper, is a Villages resident.  She presented a short intro to beekeeping and explained the health benefits of a variety of honeys from buckwheat to tupelo.

While most were sleeping at 3 AM, it only took the tornado 5 minutes to leave a path of destruction across The Villages.  There was no loss of life, but there were numerous injuries as it damaged about 1,300 Villages homes. Learn why February is the worst month for Florida tornadoes and learn why we are in a Doppler Radar dead zone.  A checklist of valuable tornado life-saving preparations will also be presented.
