Doomsday Show

Will the world end in fire … or in ice … or will it end at the hands of our computer overlords?

Join us for a live production of the Big Picture Science podcast and radio show as scientists separate fact from fiction in end-of-world scenarios.

From hoopla over the 2012 doomsday prophesy to asteroid strikes, computer sentience, and climate change, we’ll interview top scientists on stage about the spectacular predictions about the end of the world as well as scientific theories about how it might end.

Be in the audience and watch this national radio show come together - interviews, skits, miscues and all - followed by a discussion with the scientists. This is your chance to ask about the disaster scenario that gives you insomnia and hear just how likely it is to occur.

Doomsday: Be a Part of it … if it’s the Last Thing You Do.


The Computer History Museum is proud to co-host this program on the first day of the 2012 Bay Area Science Festival!
