3.00 Credits
There are many current issues arising in popular discourse, ranging from the believability of ESP to reincarnation, to "free energy" machines, which can benefit from simple physical analyses. This course will provide an introduction to the use of basic principles of physics to explore the viability of these ideas. A seminar format will be utilized with specific topics presented by students and by the instructor. Recommended preparation: PHYS 100, PHYS 115, PHYS 121, or PHYS 123.
