Going back to the days of Sir Isaac Newton, there have always been certain problems of physics and mathematics that seem all-but unsolvable.
Many of those persist today, and the list is a lengthy one. What is dark matter made of? What causes a supernova to explode? Is there a grand unification theory, or a ‘theory of everything,’ which explains all fundamental physical constants?
Registration has already opened for what promises to be the biggest semester yet for the Canterbury ElderCollege, says coordinator Catherine Fettes.
