In this 3-week sequence, you’ll learn about what happens on the frontiers of the universe! What happens when things get really big, when things get really cold, or when we go way back into the past? You’ll learn about black holes, which live in the middle of galaxies, spew out hot plasma, and gulp up stars. You’ll learn about superconductivity, which happens when you freeze metal with liquid helium until it stops making sense. And you’ll learn about the history of our universe — what we think happened in the first few minutes (like, ever) giving rise to everything we can and can’t see in the night sky. If you’re curious about what goes in places you can barely imagine, this class will help you discover some really weird answers!

Black holes live in the middle of galaxies, spew out hot plasma, and gulp up stars. We'll talk about the history of black holes, what happens when you get too close to a black hole, what black holes do to space and time, and some cool black hole thought experiments. If you want to learn more about all sorts of astrophysical weirdness, this class is for you!

The Standard Model is (as far as we know) the best description of our universe. It summarizes the particles that make up everything around us (as far as we know), and also some things that aren't usually around us. If you want to unlock the mysteries of the universe (as far as we know), join the club and take our class!

The twentieth century was pretty crazy. Massive wars in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East; decolonization and the end of an old world order; the rise of the global economy, modern finance, and widespread inequality... and also groundbreaking scientific discoveries and technological innovation. From quantum mechanics to modern vaccines, from artificial intelligence to the space race, we'll investigate some of these developments and their profound impact on our world today.

Quantum computing is apparently the future - people are putting the word "quantum" in front of everything these days. This class will teach you the basics of how quantum computers work, how we can build them, and some neat stuff that we can do with them. It'll be up to you to decide how much of a difference they'll ever make!
