SUMMARY:"Nobody Understands Quantum Mechanics": An intro for beginners\, with David Brunco
DESCRIPTION:“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” -Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman \n\n\n\nJoin Dr. David Brunco for a guided introduction to the strange world of quantum mechanics (QM)\, presented for beginners. Is light a particle or a wave? What about the electron? Or Buckyballs?  What is electron “spin” if it actually isn’t spinning – and what else has spin? \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore what Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” means for entangled wavefunctions collapsing faster than the speed of light. And what does “collapse of the wavefunction” really mean? Finally\, has “understanding” of QM moved much beyond “Shut Up and Calculate”? \n\n\n\nBring your questions\, and prepare to have your mind expanded and your assumptions questioned. This program is intended for adults and teens. Registration is appreciated\, but walk-ins are welcome. Please register below. \n\n\n\nThis program is intended for adults and teens.

SUMMARY:Understanding Muslims & Arabs: A lecture with Ray Milhem
DESCRIPTION:Islam is a Global religion. Many people in Western countries don’t understand it and fear it. This can lead people to feel cautious\, careful\, or fearful of Islam\, or in some cases\, avoid it altogether or hate it due to a lack of knowledge on the topic. \n\n\n\nIn this illuminating yet clear presentation\, join Ray Milhem for an exploration of the basics of Islam; its relationship with other religions; and the tight coupling of Islam and Arabs\, comparable to the role of Christianity in the West. \n\n\n\nThe Holy Land (Palestine) was the birthplace of Christianity and Judaism. Islam was “born” in the Arabian Peninsula (modern day Saudi Arabia)\, but it has many strong connections to the Holy Land. \n\n\n\nWe will also discuss “Extreme Islam” and its similarities to “Extreme Christianity” and “Extreme Judaism.” \n\n\n\nPlease note: this presentation is intended as a safe space for education. Hate speech\, bigotry\, and any other violation of the Library’s Behavior Policy will not be tolerated during this program. \n\n\n\nRegistration is appreciated\, but walk-ins are welcome.
