Spooky action at a distance.  A cat that’s both dead and alive.  Ephemeral objects that cease to exist when you stop looking at them.  These oddities are not fictions but based on our most accurate physical theory of how matter behaves: Quantum Mechanics.  This is an introductory course designed for students in the humanities and social sciences who are interested to learn about the history of Quantum Mechanics, the philosophy behind its startling predictions, and the very real technologies that depend on it.  The course will focus on a conceptual understanding through demonstrations, with minimal mathematics, of topics that include the fascinating properties of atoms and subatomic particles; the double slit experiment, wave-particle duality, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle; the philosophies of quantum mechanics, including the Copenhagen and Many-Worlds interpretations; what quantum information means for computers, and the future of Artificial Intelligence.

A thorough introduction to Special and General Relativity with some applications to astrophysics & cosmology. The course focuses on the connection between space-time geometry and physics and how this connection leads to the generalization of Newtonian gravity to Einstein’s gravity. The begins with discussion of geometry and space-time distances, progresses to the study of Special Relativity, which deviates from Newtonian predictions for matter moving at high speeds, and then proceeds to discuss General Relativity which further deviates from Newtonian predictions at strong gravity. This will include discussion of the equivalence principle, some basic differential geometry, exploration of some metrics (the solutions to the Einstein field equation) for simple but non-Euclidean geometries. We will discuss the spherically-symmetric (Schwarzschild) solution and the basic physics of orbits around black holes. Applications to astrophysics and cosmology may include a subset of the following: the connection of black holes & accretion disks; gravitational waves, gravitational lensing; homogeneous & isotropic (Roberts-Walker) metric solution in cosmology.
