No class on October 27th! 

During this class we will be illuminating the intertwined history of the development of glass and our understanding of our place in the universe.

We will begin by investigating the unique physical properties of glass and its interaction with light. Through lecture and demonstrations we will discuss how optical tools have been used to unlock the deepest and bizarre mysteries of how nature actually behaves!
