Ever wonder how the world works? Ever stop to think about how we really know? If you’re curious, join in a discussion of our rapidly-changing understanding of the world around us from the viewpoint of physics. Topics include the nature of light and matter, relativity, gravity, quantum mechanics, and the exciting research that’s going on today. Plenty of time for questions and maybe even some answers. You may be surprised to find that the world is not what you thought!
