Boldly go where no North City Tech Meetup has gone before and examine the real science behind Star Trek!
From the Drake equation in Gene Roddenberry's original 1964 outline to Titan’s haze obscuring the Enterprise in J.J. Abrams' reboot, we’ll look at examples of how true scientific facts underpin the legendary sci-fi franchise’s 50-plus-year history.
Ever wished you could explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations? No need to wait until the 23rd century — we’ll see how scientists are using cutting-edge telescopes and space vehicles to answer those questions today. The final frontier is waiting!
