Reading of a Play by Lauren Gunderson
Presented by Break Leg Productions

Panel Discussion and Question Session Following:
Brian Schwartz (moderator),
John Noble Wilford (NY Times science reporter) and
Lauren Gunderson (the playwright).

Play details: In 1948, as a young doctoral student, Ralph Alpher wrote the first mathematical model for the creation of the universe and predicted the discovery of cosmic background radiation that proves the Big Bang theory. He was ahead of his time. Decades later, two radio astronomers tuning their equipment stumbled on proof of Alpher's background radiation. They got the credit ? and the
Nobel Prize.
