The BRAC had its usual second Thursday of the month meeting at the Eden Country Inn.
This time the very interesting and perplexing topic of TIME was excellently presented by Jan Svenson. Jan combined philosophy and Einstein’s famous E=MC² to elucidate his presentation.

The 25 odd people in the audience were totally mesmerized and one could see their interest peaked during the well- illustrated slide and video show. The characteristics of TIME was explained and how much of an enigma TIME really is to human kind. The questions were asked and discussed of whether Humanoids had an idea of time and where mans’ discovery of TIME really started. Is TIME a manmade aspect? Can one travel back in TIME or even into the future? Perplexing thoughts to say the least.
After the well enjoyed presentation, the audience was treated to some tea, coffee and biscuits during which an informal question and answer session was held.

During October 19th, another very interesting talk will be given by Dr. Pieter Kotze of the SANSA Space Science unit in Hermanus on Geomagnetic Storms. Please feel free to attend what promises to be a very interesting presentation. Attendance donation R20 per person.
