PRIVATE TRAINING (COACHING) & KEY NOTE SPEAKER

“Modern Physics” is a phrase that generally refers to the most significant developments in physics in the past century: special relativity (appropriate for describing really fast stuff); quantum mechanics (necessary for describing really small stuff); atomic, molecular and laser physics; electronic materials (semiconductors); the elementary particles and the fundamental forces (the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions); nuclear physics (fission, fusion and radioactivity), and astrophysics and cosmology (the contents and evolution of the universe). I will introduce you to amazing insights we have about the universe on length and time scales that span many, many orders of magnitude. As well as emphasizing the progress that has been made in our understanding of the universe, I will also point out the questions that remain open – questions that are currently the subject of active research at Stanford and elsewhere. I will describe how many of these seemingly esoteric topics touch on your everyday life and have led to most of the technological developments of the past century. Your view of the world will never be the same!
