The Biggest Ideas in the Universe - #7: Quantum Mechanics - Watch and Discuss

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where well-known physicist, Sean Carroll talks informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. We’ll share his seventh two-part Lecture at our NYPG Meeting on Friday, July 9th.

Many thanks to Core NYPG member Dan who will be moderating the videos of this not to be missed series!

Video 7.1 - Sean Carrol talks about the quantum recipe - the basic ingredients of wave function and Schrodinger equation, and how they are mixed together..leaving deeper interpretational issues for later.

Video 7.2 - This is the Q&A video following Idea #7.1.

After that, it’s our turn to discuss..as time permits. AND.. why not stay on for the Afterwards virtual “No Holds Bar” from 9:30 til 11 pm for more informal chat!

About Connecting with Zoom:
The Zoom link will be visible on this event’s page, only to members who RSVP. That link will take you to the Waiting Room. Come in a little early to get settled in. Plz wait there until the meeting opens at 6:30 pm.
...As a backup, we will send members who RSVPd [UP UNTIL 5:45 pm] and have set up to receive Meetup email notices, the link again.

The attendance limit is 70 with a waitlist..so if you’ve RSVPd and can’t make it after all, it will be appreciated if you can change your RSVP accordingly.

Prior the meeting, new RSVPrs might want to familiarize themselves with Zoom at https://zoom.us/ . We recommend that you have the latest version of Zoom.

If you have a question ahead of time, plz send us a Meetup message.

Stay safe and hope to see you online on Friday, July 9th. And don’t forget the Afterwards at the virtual No Holds Bar - open 9:15 to 11 pm!

About the North York Physics Group (NYPG)

NYPG is 12 years old with almost 1,500 members.

Our presentations provide a venue for learning from members and guest
academics and scientists. We also have video lectures covering on all
aspects of Physics.

We encourage our members to help us find great Physics presenters,
whether they be professional academics, post-grads, or just physics
enthusiasts.

Within our 3 hour +/- meetup, each member gets to learn and discuss many aspects of Physics.

The only "formal" qualifications you need to join is a sincere personal
desire and enthusiasm for Physics; to keep yourself informed and to
courteously share your insights.

Pre-pandemic, after the formal meeting there was the Afterwards..many of us would go a short distance outside to a local pub/restaurant for drinks, snacks, chatting, making new physics oriented friends, or comparing notes with our circle of very scientific friends! For now we hang out at the virtual “No Holds Bar”. Hope you can join us for that! Closing time is 11pm at the virtual No Holds Bar!

Mohsen and I would like to thank the rest of our Organizing Team, Linda, Vera, Avo, Dan and Victor, for their dedicated support of NYPG.

Thank you TEAM!

Betty and Mohsen.
