Chad Orzel, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College, will present the ideas of quantum mechanics, one of the great scientific and intellectual achievements of the 20th century, in a funny and accessible way, as he does in his recent popular book, "How to Teach Physics to Your Dog". With respect to the criteria for cultural events, Chad's presentation should serve to "motivate students to examine their conceptions of the natural world... [and] philosophical meaning." We believe the presentation has the potential to contribute to bridging the gap between the liberal arts and the "hard sciences" at Berry. Here is Chad's abstract for the talk: "Quantum physics, the science of extremely small things like atoms and subatomic particles, is one of the best tested theories in the history of science, and also one of the most bizarre. Many of its predictions-- particles that behave like waves, cats that are alive and dead at the same time, objects that pass through barriers as if they weren't even there-- seem more like science fiction than science fact. This talk will explain the reality behind some of the stranger aspects of quantum physics, and why it is so important that even dogs should know about it."
