Physics and Astronomy: The Fascinating Interconnections
Travel beyond the earth's confines and explore an area where gravity does not exist. Learn from an Astrophysicist about the specialized techniques used to observe space phenomena, such as stars, planets, black holes, and magnetic pulsars, using radio, infrared, UV, and optical astronomy. Learn about the mechanics behind such tools. Discover the physics behind the Big Bang Theory, the universe's hypothesized expansion, and the earth's formation and place within the larger universe. Gain a greater appreciation for black holes and dark matter, including their location, their history, and how they are formed, by understanding the Physics behind them. Finally, learn about the Large Hadron Collider, a machine way ahead of its time, which is seeking to reconcile the two competing theories behind the space-time continuum: General Relativity vs. Quantum Mechanics. Find out about the machine's exciting possibilities (time travel theories) and inherent dangers (the possibility of creating a black hole).
