Description:
“The Universe is made of stories, not of atoms” is a quote attributed to Muriel Rukeyser, a poet. This is most likely an allusion to the popular idea that everything is made of atoms. But is it? In our sessions, we will explore the current scientific consensus on what the universe is made of and how it came to be.
Andy Ferstl earned his Ph.D. in physics in 2000 with an emphasis in the interdisciplinary work of cosmology and particle physics. This included topics such as the Big Bang, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Relativity, and Supersymmetry. He has taught physics classes at Winona State from the introductory level to senior level courses.
