Series #4 topics include:

(1) Our Energy Future — Renewables and/or Nuclear Fusion

The cost of solar and wind energy have dramatically declined, making fossil fuels nearly obsolete.
Nuclear fusion may still be our ultimate energy source — what are its current status and prospects?

(2) How do astronomers measure the distances to stars, galaxies, and the edge of our observable universe, and answer the age-old question: “…how I wonder where you are?”

(3) The mysteries of Quantum Mechanics all emerge from the wave properties of matter.

We examine the remarkable phenomenon of wave interference, where 1+1 can be anything from 0 to 4.
We also explore the iconic two-slit experiment.

(4) Black holes are nature’s most exotic creation. What are they? We explore the ultimate expression of gravity —

supermassive black holes, many billion times more massive than our Sun, lurking at galactic centers and
creating Active Galactic Nuclei, Quasars, and Blazars.

(5) Quantum Entanglement was first proposed by Einstein as a proof that the predictions of Quantum Mechanics are so absurd that this theory must be wrong. Yet, as crazy as Entanglement seems, it is most certainly real.

(6) We explore “The Ten Most Beautiful” experiments in the history of science.

Supermassive Black Hole Binary
