18th Annual Pumpkin Drop, Oct. 31

Get in the Halloween spirit as the Society of Physics Students present The Eighteenth Annual Pumpkin Drop. Legend has it that Galileo Galilei demonstrated his Law of Falling Bodies by climbing to the top of the Tower of Pisa so that he could drop a large ball and a small ball at the same time. Both balls hit the ground together! We will reenact this great moment in the history of science using pumpkins. This year in celebration of the World Year of Physics, the host will be Albert Einstein. Aristotle, Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton will all be there. In addition, we will use Galileo’s Law to drop pumpkins in time to the cannon blasts of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.” The Pumpkin Drop will be held at high noon on Monday, Oct. 31 on the south side of Butte Hall. We promise you a smashing good time! For more information contact Dr. David Kagan, Department of Physics, CSU, Chico, 898-6259 or use the Web Site.
