What colour was Napoleon’s white horse?
Napoleon’s horse is white. But is it really white? What happens when we look at it with a different light? And what if we want to look at it in the dark?
Saturday, October 17th 2020, Ana Mourão, professor at Técnico Department of Physics and researcher at Center for Astrophysics and Gravitation – CENTRA will help us answer this question like a scientist. And we will also think of more questions, live and by email.
Please send us your questions ahead of time to explicametecnico@gmail.com or join us live on Facebook.
“Explain it like I’m 5 – talks at Técnico for children and other curious people of all ages” is designed for young people opening a door to get to know Técnico research and the possibility to ask our scientists a question- even at a distance. Older people can come as well, if the children let them.
Saturdays at 11:00, every two weeks, live on Facebook. The talks can be watched later.
