Jugglers\, acrobats\, and other c ircus artists often base their acts on simple Newtonian principles of mo tion and balance taken to extremes. How does gravity's constant rate of acceleration affect the juggling of bowling balls? Why would a Nobel Lau reate beg a vaudevillian to spin a ball on his finger? Which tricks are created using math? Did the Japanese really acquit a 17th-century prison er on the strength of his inertia skills? Which came first: the bed of n ails or the ladder of swords? How many new performance ideas can a despe rate juggler glean from a room full of science-minded folks?\n\nRhys Tho mas\, has been making a living performing hilarity and dexterity for ove r 20 years. His science shows have been presented in Trinidad\, Singapor e\, at museums across the U.S. and Canada\, and even toured by dogsled a cross frozen ocean to Siberian Yupik villages. Thomas has served as arti st-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution and performs as an OMSI e ducator at schools in Oregon\, Washington\, Idaho\, and other western st ates.\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250455730 URL:http://www.omsi.edu/education/adults/sciencepub/ SUMMARY:Science Pub: Science Circus - The Physics of Fun LOCATION:McMenamins Mission Theater &\; Pub: 1624 Nw Glisan St\, Portl and Oregon 97209 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
