Physics for Future Presidents
Room 4307, Gates Hillman Center
Our society faces many key problems that are intimately related to physics, including hot-button topics such as energy, climate change, and terrorism. Misjudge the science, make a wrong decision. Yet, many political leaders and concerned citizens have a hard time evaluating the issues, because they have never been taught the underlying physics. What is radioactivity? What happened in Fukushima last year, and what is dangerous about it? And why? Why don't we have more battery-run cars? What actually is a battery? Could we run cars on solar cells if we just build really good solar cells? What are the facts on global warming? None of these questions are stupid, all of them involve physics, and their answers might change our views or how we would argue for them. In this session, Professors Markus Deserno and Gregg Franklin will argue why this material is really useful and not just for presidents. They will also give several examples of the things they teach, all of which should strike almost everyone as both surprising and politically relevant.
