DESCRIPTION:"Why\, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible t
hings before breakfast."
\n~Lewis Carroll. Alice in Wonderland.
\nOrder and stability in the giant world of stars and galaxies is do
minated by the force of gravity. In contrast\, the tiny world of atomi
c and subatomic particles is held together by nuclear and quantum forc
es. As one sizes up from the subatomic to the astronomical scales\, a
natural question emerges: What universal principles govern the world o
f the “in-between”? What happens to the laws of nature when the ti
me and spatial scales change from large to small? In this talk\, I inv
ite you to a journey through the mesoscopic wonderland of dusty plasma
\, where principles are semi-classical\, forces are non-linear\, therm
odynamics is non-equilibrium\, and dimensions are quasi-defined. We wi
ll tour this almost impossible world by exploring dusty plasmas across
scales\, in nature and laboratory\, both on Earth and in space.
