Interact directly with them and be informed at the same time, energized by scientific ideas and at bell house in brooklyn. Back here tonight, the kickoff of the fifth many season of secret science club north and we are happy to kick off symphony spaces this season behind the new republic. And joanna thompson, rebecca wise and mary mead, the most helpful. A very special thanks, they created the libation of the night. The quantum cocktail, exhibit a. And a smoky ginger ale topped with lemon. We get it at the bar. If you are bored by me. A heads up part of the many season, by december 3rd with astronaut kathy sullivan, former nasa astronaut, the First American woman to walk in space and a former director of noaa.

Accused can pick up a copy of the Smithsonian Magazine we publish them every month they are fantastic readings while you are waiting at the Doctors Office or whatever. Theres a handout you can also pick up on your way out and you will also notice tha that weved some post cards on the table. Two Nights Program a program in for science people and not science people and a way for you to curate. If you are curious about that, talk to me or check it out online. A couple of other orders of business, please silence any mobile devices and take the time to do so now and you will definitely want to do that tonight because you will notice we have cspan in the house. Tonight we have a professor of physics at th the university ofe sciences in philadelphia. His interests range from space, time and higher dimension to cultural aspects of science. The recipient of the fellowship fulbright scholarship and the literary award shes appeared on the history channel, Discovery Channel and pbs and is the auth
A happy first night of hanukkah to all. To all of our members and donors think you for your continued support. I can talk to you about our programs or membership. It has a lovely winter scene this month. While youre waiting in the Doctors Office or whatever. Check out our programs. If you are already we put some postcard on the table outside. Its part of our new science literacy program. The is for both science people and not science people. If you are curious more about that talk to me a couple other orders of business. You will notice we have cspan in the house. If your phone goes off it will be on tv tonight. Let me tell you about tonights guest. Tonight we have dr. Paul halpern. His interest range from space, time to higher dimensions. The recipients about guggenheim fellowship. He has appeared on the history channel. In pbs. The author of 15 Popular Science books including the quantum elaborate is available for sale at the end of the program. [applause]. I am delighted to be here
To create kind of a ball of charge. So the model was knowledge in a valid charge. These churches interact with themselves using the photons and if you calculate this using direct theories, which was developed in the 1930s are late 1920s and early 1930s, behaviors ranging their which is like dividing one by zero on a calculator. You didnt answer at infinity. That cant be right because the amount of energy of an electron which if you consider to be a ball of charge cant be infinity. Many different calculations give you an answer of infinity which is very unsatisfying. Its a crazy answer. In order to address this, however radical idea and set the problem youre getting an affinity with these answers could be eliminated if you eliminate the intermediary. You eliminate having a photon or a light particle exchange between the two electrons. We all know that there is like a pair. The play would be produced by the electrons themselves through their mutual interactions, which would take place ov
A Texas Tech University chemical physicist has developed a new theory of quantum mechanics that presumes not only that parallel worlds exist, but also that their mutual interaction is what gives rise to all quantum effects observed in nature.
