 -09-23\n\nAs recent events have made so painfully clear\, massive technica
 l systems can&mdash\;and do&mdash\;fail catastrophically.  When they do\, 
 we as a society struggle to understand why&mdash\;what combination of the 
 &ldquo\;human&rdquo\; and the &ldquo\;machine&rdquo\; is responsible?  Pro
 fessor Galison's Elizabeth Turner Jordan '59 Humanities Lecture will explo
 re the powerful technical\, sociological\, moral\, and philosophical quest
 ions at stake as we strive to determine who or what is to blame for these 
 catastrophic failures.  Peter Galison is the author of Einstein's Clocks\,
  Poincare's Maps:  Empires of Time (2003) and Objectivity (2007)\, co-auth
 ored with Lorraine Daston.  He has also collaborated on two documentary fi
 lms:  The Ultimate Weapon:  The H-Bomb Dilemma\, about the creation of the
  first hydrogen bomb\, and\, Secrecy\, about government secrecy\, which pr
 emiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.\n\nStart time: 4:30 pm
