This course will teach you everything you've ever wanted to know about astronomy - or at least we'll cover the basics and try to explain what you are curious about. Topics will include (1) an overview of Earth's night sky; (2) our solar system - origin, geography of the components, and interesting things about our little piece of the universe; and (3) the universe - origin, development of galaxies, stars, and elements. We'll have a night observation session and look at the sky through my telescope and enjoy a laser pointer show-and-tell. -

This course examines the science behind climate change, the observed and anticipated impacts on both physical and social systems, and the solutions already helping to mitigate the symptoms of a warming planet. Global attention has brought unparalleled cooperation in addressing the underlying causes. Entrepreneurial spirits are creating technological breakthroughs. The picture is not all gloom and doom but does depend on our collective action. -

Over time, archaeologists have traced human history with artifacts left behind by past societies. Since the 1960's, new scientific tools, such as radiocarbon dating, have transformed the discipline of archaeology. In just the last two decades, mapping the human genome combined with ability to reconstruct ancient DNA has revolutionized our knowledge of human history. In this class, we will review new science and how it is informing us about our past. The course is designed for a lay audience with general knowledge of DNA and history of human migration out of Africa into Eurasia and the Americas. -

A discussion of how Mythology and Science are related to Spirituality and Carl G. Jung's conception of the mind and the Archetype's of the collective unconscious. Will also include a discussion of the myths and rituals of Paleolithic and Neolithic humans and the Shaman. And finally, a discussion of how the mystical and science traditions are similar. - Section Code: F20FSFSCT009A

Fundamental physics teaches us about how the universe is designed. Quantum mechanics shows us that at the fundamental level the design is very strange indeed. Particles behave as both particles and waves; properties seem not to exist until they are measured; and entangled particles seem to communicate over long distances almost instantaneously. All of this defies normal human intuition. This class will discuss these ideas in a non-mathematical way. While we will avoid math, we will discuss experiments that require some thought to understand. People who attend this class should come prepared to think hard about concepts that defy intuition. -
