Class Details

These are discussions of scientific topics, meant for the interested non-scientist. They are about significant and crucial intellectual developments over the past several hundred years. The topics will change with time, ranging from the beginnings of scientific thought in the Renaissance, the Greek influences of such thinking, up to modern topics such as discussions of Quantum Mechanics which is responsible for most of the devices we use every day, to the problems of modern weapons, with their overwhelmingly frightening capabilities.
