CEPI 0903 - The Tiniest Bits of Reality

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This course will take you on a journey back in time, to the universe as it was when it was forming. Along the way we will make several stops in order to meet physicists and philosophers who were ahead of their time, guessing about the structure of the world in an unimaginable detail. They will tell us more about the tiniest bits of reality, elementary particles. Their interpretations made so many years ago do not differ a lot from modern knowledge. Modern physics of elementary particles deals with matter and antimatter. One of the things we will show is that the latter, as fictional as it may seem, really exists and its applications can be found in real-life situations.
