S7919: Black Holes: From Relativity to Quantum in Splash Fall 2023 (Dec. 02 - 03, 2023)
Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe. Astrophysicists love to study black holes to understand their properties, but sometimes they need help from quantum scientists to build the right telescopes... We are two undergraduates interested in astro and quantum respectively, come to our class to learn about black holes!


S7762: What's so special about special relativity? in Splash Fall 2022 (Dec. 03 - 04, 2022)
In this class we will take a dive into one of the most exciting advances in physics in the past 150 years: Einstein's special relativity. It sounds intimidating, but the basics of special relativity can actually be done with a bit of algebra and two important assumptions. Take this class and see that space and time aren't exactly what they seem...
