It would have been ideal if scientists had cracked the wormhole problem and figured out how people could transport themselves (and their consciousness) intact from world-to-world in seconds — or even minutes. In the meanwhile, for anyone that isn't in New York till 2 June but wants to keep up with the biggest annual science festival, we've pooled all the online resources to this year's World Science Festival and put them all in one place.
What's the World Science Festival about?
The World Science Festival is an annual festival produced by the World Science Foundation — a non-profit headquartered in New York City. The Festival gathers great minds in science & the arts to introduce a wide range of people to big scientific discoveries.
This year's Festival kicked off with a Gala and opening performance of Light Falls: Space, Time, and an Obsession of Einstein featuring some visual storytelling by physicist (and performer) Brian Greene along with a team of Broadway artists.
#WSF19 opened last night with a bang at LIGHT FALLS: Space, Time, and an Obsession of Einstein, followed by a science inspired dinner at our annual Gala. 🔥 Check out the full gallery here: https://t.co/mkTf0AVIu0 #science #Einstein pic.twitter.com/EMLVDgXwq4

Almost half the programs in the World Science Festival are exclusively for paying, attending members. However, there's a rich library of talks regularly updated by WSF for their global audience. On their website, the Video section houses a comprehensive library of programs from recent Festivals to access freely, as well as other cool videos on current science to browse.
