| Tonight on TDS, actress Rachel McAdams discusses her new film,The Time Traveler's Wife; and on TCR, Stephen is joined by cosmologist Mark Devlin |
McAdams is known for her previous roles in Mean Girls, The Notebook, Red Eye, and Wedding Crashers. Here's the Wikipedia description of The Time Traveler's Wife:
Based on the premise of The Time Traveler's Wife, a Chicago librarian (Bana) has a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel when he is stressed. Though he often disappears from her life for long periods of time, he tries to build a romantic relationship with Clare Abshire, an artist (McAdams).
Devlin is a cosmologist, a subfield of astronomy. According to the Blast: The Movie website, Devlin is quite the accomplished researcher:
The Reese W. Flower Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics, at the University of Pennsylvania, Mark Devlin is an experimental cosmologist. He designs and constructs the devices that collect the data that help us understand our universe. Rather than working out theories on a chalkboard, he's more likely to be found crawling inside the frame of a car-sized telescope, soldering gun in hand, or standing on the windswept ice of Antarctica preparing to send that high-tech appliance to the very edge of space on a NASA balloon.
So sit back and enjoy the show!
