We will cover the concept of gravity from a non-specialist point of view from Newton to Einstein and beyond. Each week we will view two 30-minute, Teaching Company DVD lectures by Benjamin Schumacher, each followed by 20 minutes for answering questions and discussion. Dick Chase worked 27 years as an industrial physicist for Ford Motor Company and has taught physics from community college to the graduate level. At OLLI, he has taught Classical Physics, Modern Physics, Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and two geology courses. He has also led book discussion groups. This class for adults over 50 meets Tuesdays from September 20 - December 13 (no class 11/22).
