Cars backed up along Sand Hill Road for the first installment, “All About SLAC: What Goes On in the World’s Longest Building?” Upcoming free, one-hour talks include “Our Lopsided Universe: The Matter with Anti-Matter,” “Metal, Molecules, Life and Death,” “Particle Astrophysics” and “Magnetism and X-Rays: From the Compass to Modern Technology.”
