Quantum mechanics is hard, and you are probably tired. So come relax and listen to an introduction to quantum field theory told in the style of a bedtime story. QFT is probably the deepest and most precise description that we have of nature, and usually it comes with lots of complicated-looking equations and diagrams. But here I'll give you a much more gentle introduction to QFT, using only pictures and no math. Learn a little bit about vacuum fluctuations, virtual particles, and the difference between Fermions and Bosons. Walk out with a new perspective on what "empty space" really is.

Quantum mechanics is cool. But the math behind it can look more than a little intimidating. So come learn a few of the most important ideas in quantum mechanics without having to worry about any math beyond algebra. And figure out for yourself some of its most important results! Like: what is zero point energy? How big is an atom? And how fast would a whale fall if you dropped it out of an airplane?

Quantum mechanics is cool. But the math behind it can look more than a little intimidating. So come learn a few of the most important ideas in quantum mechanics without having to worry about any math beyond algebra. And derive for yourself some of its most celebrated results! We'll go over wave-particle duality, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, zero-point energy, and fermions and bosons. Plus a few other things.

What's more fun: basketball or math problems? It's a trick question -- the correct answer is math problems ABOUT basketball. Come learn about some of the math that is used for describing basketball strategy. See why the best shooter is a rarely-used shooter, why choosing your shots is like choosing a secretary, and why sometimes the better strategy scores fewer points. Then try your hand at some sports math yourself!
