A comprehensive history in one meal. The sheer variety and complexity of materials we interact with on a daily basis may make the early universe seem almost simple, dominated for millions of years by two elements. It is because we are able to taste and smell even slight differences in complex molecules or small changes in composition that food becomes a psychologically and artistically interesting medium for a discussion of the more “esoteric” properties of the very early universe. Explore the origins of the complex materials that make up each of 6 courses by learning about the food science that made them possible. Celebrate where those materials came from through the physics that inspired their presentation. From the Big Bang and Baryogenesis to the heat death of the Universe, enjoy a delicious new spin on cosmic chronology.
