PHY 164 - Decoding the Universe (4)This course will be a lecture/lab combined course. The topics of forces, energy, light, and atomic structure will be introduced to the students in connections to the stages of the formation of the Universe and physical processes in it. Students will gain an understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, such as the laws of gravity, electromagnetism, light, and atomic structure, as well as dark matter and dark energy. Students will learn how four fundamental forces - electromagnetic, gravitational, nuclear, and weak forces - have been ruling the actions in the universe, starting with the Big Bang. They will also learn about how advanced technology, such as telescopes and particle accelerators, help to observe and study the behavior of the universe. Although some elementary algebra will be used, no background of algebra knowledge is required.
