On September 30th, 2025, the Center of Gravity gathered at the Cinemateket for the first of many social events, a special evening of science, linguistics, and cinema. A guest speaker, linguist Peter Harder, took us on a journey through the concept of time and language, and as lights dimmed, Arrival by Denis Villeneuve came. Aliens with nine legs land abruptly on mysterious ships, leaving humanity in disarray, struggling to communicate without a shared language or common ground.

After the screening, discussions continued over bubbles on the rooftop and dinner, between reflections on the movie, laughter, and physics.
