The Inexplicable Universe: Unsolved Mysteries (On Campus)
Have you ever looked up at the sky on a dark and starry night? Unless you tried this away from the bright city lights, you missed the best part. Peering up at the sky you can see a few stars and planets close to us. You can expand your view in darkness and see the Milky Way galaxy and more of the universe. With the aid of simple to complex telescopes, cameras, etc. you can begin to understand that our earth is a miniscule part of the entire universe. This series of lectures will help us to grasp the complexity and depth of what lies out in the great beyond with the most comprehensible explanation possible. Is a Black Hole a reality? Is there a “God” particle? Let’s dig in and find out.
Coordinator: Beth Lloyd
