"The MetaQuizzical Cafe" is a musical science and philosophy salon which debuts as a weekly series during the Smithsonian's exhibition of BEYOND:Visions of Planetary Landscapes at the Petaluma Museum May 6-July 4.

Each event centers on the concept behind one of singer-songwriter Jim Ocean's original songs and is a spicy blend of live music, speaker interview and audience Q&A.

Expect wide-ranging and inspiring conversation and edutainment.

Speaker: Marilyn Schlitz PhD, President/CEO of Institute of Noetic Sciences
Song: "Four Percent"
Description: An exploration of the "ultimate Copernican revolution". Not only are we not at the center of the universe, we’re not made of the same stuff as the vast majority of the universe.
