Science: James Kakalios: Adventures in Quantum Mechanics
In pulp magazines and comics of the 1950s, the future looked positively utopic (flying cars, jetpacks, robotic assistants). Things didn't exactly turn out that way, but our world actually is even more fantastic now, says James Kakalios, author of The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics. Just as he made physics fun in Physics of Superheroes, Kakalios uses examples from comics and magazines to explain how breakthroughs in quantum mechanics led to technologies such as the World Wide Web and MRIs, and how they underlie our day-to-day lives. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft.
