A packed house inside of Playhouse QPAC theater kicked off the first day of World Science Festival Brisbane on Wednesday night with the Australian premiere of “Light Falls," a dramatic original performance that brings Albert Einstein's pursuit of the general theory of relativity to life over a century after he announced his groundbreaking work. To avoid being outdone by thrilling theories approximately the nature of our universe, spider enthusiasts -- oh, or they are out there -- welcomed the newest species to walk on eight legs. Please join us in welcoming Dolomedes briangreenei to the official record. Queensland Museum arachnologist Dr Robert Raven discovered the water spider recently and he named it for physicist Brian Greene. That’s Australian hospitality right there.
