AN OASIS OF UNDERSTANDINGWITHIN THE BOUNDLESS MYSTERY

Thursdays, 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m.Dates: 8 Sessions, January 17–March 7Instructor: Douglas L. Hemmick

In our effort to characterize it, quantum physicsdefies easy analogies and platitudes. From itsvery outset in the 1920s and through to today,quantum controversies have evoked unusuallyprofound questions. More recently—throughBell’s Theorem—we have found insight into ageneral feature of reality itself. However, anadequate grasp of such matters calls for a verybroad perspective. To gain this, we make use ofCarl Sagan’s beautiful and illuminating conceptof discovery offered in Pale Blue Dot. Sagan’smetaphorical viewpoint will open our eyes andallow us to appreciate quantum controversiessuch as Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox andBell’s Theorem. Students need no prior sciencebackground and ninth grade level scienceknowledge is enough.Class is limited to 30 students.

Douglas L. Hemmick holds a Ph.D. and M.S.from Rutgers University. Douglas has had a keeninterest in quantum physics for over 25 yearsand has performed original research into therefutation of Conway and Kochen’s “Free Will”Theorem. He is the principal author of the 2011book Bell’s Theorem and Quantum Realism.Doug is now working on a second book withthe same coauthor and writing a monthlycolumn on stargazing and amateur astronomy.

• Registrations will not be processed until a membership fee is paid.
