Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Alumni Weekend, this lecture explores basic mysteries such as “What are electricity and magnetism?”, “How can atoms exist?” and “What are space and time?” has led to computers, wireless communication, MP3 players, lasers, medical imaging — indeed, virtually every “high tech” device on the planet. Join Dr. Epp in a celebration of the immense power of theoretical physics to transform our world for the betterment of humanity, and learn how current theoretical explorations may hold potential for even more fantastic innovations in the future.
