of a new way of transmitting information over vast distances, shortening
the gap between people and places, a first step towards creating the modern
village we call global. In addition to a wealth of historical information
two interactive stations contain an actual recording of Marconi's voice
announcing the first experiment, in both Italian and English. Marconi's
Wireless system has truly changed our everyday lives, affecting how we
gain information, how we interact with each other and how we communicate

"How can something so heavy seem so light?"
"If birds' wings flap, why don't planes'?" Sure these are questions a child
might ask, but these are also the same questions grown-up inventors asked
a hundred years ago. Flight explores aviation as a springboard to understanding
a wide range of science, math and physics principles. Understanding how
flight works illuminates the very nature of problem solving and in few
other subjects is the result of research so historically rich and visually
breathtaking. Sit in the cockpit of a real Stearman PT-17 biplane or a
Bell 47D Helicopter, or pedal a Gossamer Condor to find out what it feels
like to be the engine of the aircraft that pioneered human-powered flight.
Other interactive experiences include a virtual flight on a jet liner,
a flyable model helicopter and more. Flight ignites minds - the connections
between the ancient dream and its modern fulfillment teaches that knowledge
does make dreams possible. Science World; (604) 443-7443.
