Understanding the Quantum World and Beyond
What is Quantum Physics?
We’ll read Lee Smolin’s new book, "Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution". To get us up to speed, we’ll also watch the first six DVD lectures of Understanding the Quantum World from the Teaching Company, and we’ll pull in other lectures as needed. The goal is to understand what is missing from quantum mechanics as it currently stands and to see where changes are most likely to come from.
Richard Chase, the study group leader, worked 27 years as a research physicist for Ford and taught physics at several levels.
