Brief Biographical Sketch:
If you clicked on this link, I can only assume that you have a vague interest in either (a) the class we're teaching, or (b) the slight strangeness of my name. If (a), then I strongly encourage you to stop by our class, which will discuss some of the most bizarre yet wonderful things that happen in nature. If (b), then "Nabil" actually means "highborn", or "noble". "Iqbal" is a pretty common last name where I'm from, but surely you admit that its kind of unfortunate that it is spelled with a "q" with no "u" after it, a fact that caused me no small amount of pain while I was growing up. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S4562: Quantum Tunneling, Black Holes, and The Weird Universe in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. We’ll explain some of these ideas, ranging from the very small – where particles routinely walk through walls and almost anything can happen – to the very large – where the fabric of space and time itself is curved, a glance at the sky can show you the birth of the universe, and mysteriously named Black Holes are inescapable for anything, even light itself. We’ll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our universe really is.
S4563: From Ultracold Atoms To Superstring Theory in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
What would happen if you could cool objects to really, really cold temperatures? What would the world look like if you could look at objects at smaller and smaller distances? We’ll talk about the amazing discoveries that people have made trying to answer these questions, including Bose-Einstein condensation, where millions of atoms act as one huge atom, and the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the objects that make up our universe. Be ready to have your mind blown away!

It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. We'll explain some of these ideas, ranging from the very small - where particles routinely walk through walls and almost anything can happen - to the very large - where the fabric of space and time itself is curved, a glance at the sky can show you the birth of the Universe, and mysteriously named Black Holes are inescapable for anything, even light itself. We'll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our Universe really is.
S1195: Quantum Tunneling, Black Holes, and The Weird Universe in Spark! Spring 2008 (Mar. 08, 2008)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. We'll explain some of these ideas, ranging from the very small--where particles routinely walk through walls and are both everywhere and nowhere at once--to the very large--where the fabric of space and time itself is curved, a glance at the sky can show you the birth of the Universe, and mysteriously named Black Holes are inescapable for anything, even light itself. We'll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our Universe really is.
