Modern Physics for Everyone

Just for fun, I taught a six session class on atomic, nuclear, and particle physics for a general audience (including people with no math or science background).  Dan Unger was nice enough to film it and post it to youtube (thanks Dan!), so here it is: 9 hours of modern physics, in 30 minute chunks.  [Disclaimer: my goal here was to give people an appreciation and intuition for fundamental Physics, which supersedes strict scientific accuracy]

Class 1: Atomic Physics

Class 2: More Atomic Physics, Nuclear Physics

Class 3: Particle Physics

Class 4: 

Class 5:

Class 6: Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

  1. Josh,

    Wow! Why have I not been following you (& your family) in the past?! I’m currently working aboard myself in SE Asia (Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and India so far) since February. Looks like we have left similar tracks on this beautiful earth. Let’s stay touch cuz!

    Cheers,
    Cousin Conor
