Science In The 20th Century: Disc 1

Professor Steve L. Goldman introduces modern science in a fresh way, showing us the evolution of it and how certain terms we use today don’t mean the same thing they did one hundred years ago. In 36 lectures, Professor Goldman explains the evolution of modern day science, how we are able to define reality using modern ideas, past and present quantum theories, and QED associated with fission and fusion.

All five major themes discussed in this series (matter and energy, the universe, Earth, life, and humanity) gracefully blend into one another to give the viewer a complete and undiminished meaning of what science is to us today. Enjoy and learn from this captivating series that will come in handy in everyday life as much as it will the classroom.
