Quantum physics has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, our role in it, and the nature of reality itself, as well as our lack of understanding. Join Dr. Bradley Bobbs (PhD, Physics, UCLA; BS, Physics, Harvey Mudd College) in a two-part lecture series on the science, history, and controversies behind the still-unresolved philosophical mysteries of quantum physics.
Topics will include the ultraviolet catastrophe, quantum leaps, wave-particle duality, changing the past, quantum uncertainty, antimatter, multiple universes, quantum entanglement, spooky action-at-a-distance, and of course that darn cat. The lectures, full of cartoons, jokes, trivia, and historical and personal anecdotes, are designed to be understandable by any adult, regardless of science or math background (or lack thereof), as well as by exceptionally inquisitive teens.
Note: Guests are strongly ecnouraged to attend both lectures. If you can't attend Part I, the program will be livestreamed and available for viewing on Beyond Baroque's YouTube Channel.
Doors Open: 1:30 PM | Lecture: 2:00 PM
Part I: March 9, 2:00 - 4:15 PM
Part II: March 16, 2:00 - 4:15 PM
