Our latest lecture series, Relativity & Cosmology, concluded on August 25, but our exploration of frontier physics continues. A less formal seminar series, Topics in Modern Physics, begins on September 8th, and will address intriguing topics, with ample time for focused discussion. We will cover breaking new discoveries, major turning points in physics, and other physics topics our group wishes to pursue. We will have 2 seminars per month, each starting at 10:00 am Pacific time and lasting about 90 minutes. Our first topic is a brief review of classical physics, like: - What did Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics tell us about our world?
- What did they get right, and where were they wrong?
- How did all that provide a base for modern physics?
Other topics might include: - Dark Matter Searches
- Light & Birth of Cosmology, Quantum Mechanics and/or Relativity
- Aspects of Particle Physics
- Gravitational Waves
- Black Holes, Massive & Supermassive
- Telescopes - what comes after Hubble?
-
