What is the meaning of life? This is a question that has puzzled philosophers, scientists, theologians, and ordinary people for centuries. In this course, we will explore various philosophical, scientific, and religious perspectives on the meaning of life. We will examine the different ways in which people have tried to find meaning in life and the various theories that have been proposed to explain our existence.

They say your face is bombarded by trillions of particles every second. Which you don’t see. They say your hair contains many trillion atoms. Which you can’t see. And they even say your Wi-Fi comes from an invisible spectrum. Which, of course, you will never see! Finally, they say, all the things you don’t see make up the things you do see! So what do you see? Particle physics can be surprising, confusing and downright funny at times. In this class, we’ll attempt to explore the tiniest and the fundamental things in nature. Not only do we focus on *what* we know (sorry, what “they” know) about the world, but also think about *how* they know what they know. At the end of our Tour in Particle Physics, maybe you’ll see the atoms in your hair, the particles slapping your face, and the Wi-Fi that got you through Zoom days.
