presented by : Dr Paul Payne
Adult education evening courses in Astronomy, Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Physics held at historic Sydney Observatory. Presented by Dr Paul Payne using unique dynamic, interactive, 3D stereo graphics. Complex concepts are made understandable through powerful visualizations. The courses take you from an introduction to the night sky to delving into the wonderful universe described by modern physics. The courses are free of mathematics except for " The Theorem of Pythagoras in Physics" and "HSC Relativity" .
Exploring the Heavens
An introduction to the wonderful night sky. Identify, and understand the nature of the planets, stars and constellations of the night sky. Learn which type of telescope is the one for you.

The Theorem of Pythagoras in Physics
Mathematics is the language of science. This course is an introduction to the application of mathematics in Physics. Pythagoras's Theorem applied to Newtonian momentum, Einstein's Relativity and the probability of states in Quantum Mechanics. Over 3 evenings we explore the many ways to interprete this ancient theorem.
