Fermi Paradox and the Rare Earth Hypothesis
Mark Haynes will present a fascinating discussion on the Fermi Paradox and Rare Earth Hypothesis. If there is intelligent life in the Universe then where are they? Let's examine the evidence supporting these two hypotheses. This will be an open panel discussion. We will stick to these two concepts. So that means inter-dimensional aliens who live in the sun are off the table. That’s for another panel. The Fermi paradox is the conflict between the lack of clear, obvious evidence for extraterrestrial life and various high estimates for their existence. The Rare Earth hypothesis suggests that the very unique conditions of Earth that allowed complex life to arise and flourish are exceptionally uncommon — and they’re unlikely to widely occur throughout the universe.

“Not All Who Wander Are Lost”
Come join Tolkien scholar Kirk Sprague-Williams for a 50 min exploration of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien and how this language professor at Oxford came to be the grandfather of the modern fantasy genre. The first part of the presentation will cover the Professor himself. Where he came from what motivated him and how the realm of Middle Earth came be. We will touch on the languages that influenced his development of the elvish language, and how from that came the development of the world itself. Then we will have an open discussion on how he has influenced modern pop culture and spawned a generation of writers to delve into the concepts of good and evil though the fantasy genre.
