Light Science

Light Science

‘Light Science’ features three interactive demonstrations about the physics of light. First up, you can experience a classic trick-of-the-light known as ‘Pepper’s ghost’, which theatres and carnivals have used for centuries to create haunting performances. Meanwhile, see what you look like under infrared light, normally invisible to the human eye. Finally, check out our ‘spaghettification mirror’ to see what would happen to you if you fell into a black hole. Scientists will be on hand to answer all your questions about the demos, the universe, and more. There will be giveaways, too!
