DISCOVERY SEMINAR PROGRAM CONTINUEDDSP 130 - 001 The Present is the Key to the Past: The Kentucky-Bahamas Connection (3 CR)Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical SciencesThe central Kentucky area is not at all like the Bahamas! However, 450 million years ago central Kentucky waslocated 20 degrees south of the equator in a climate and setting very much like the Bahamas today. At thattime, this landless area was all a shallow, open-marine sea, populated with many invertebrate organismsincluding sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, trilobites, crinoids, and various types of algae. In thisseminar, we use basic geologic principals to understand how the rocks in the Kentucky area were deposited andformed over time. Similarly, we collect and examine fossils to understand their evolutionary underpinnings. Wespend considerable class time in the field examining the local rocks and fossils. Because of travel time to andfrom the field, most classes on field-trip days will have to be extended by 60 to 90 minutes. Attendance on afull-Saturday field trip during the semester is required. Short readings, field trips, written papers andparticipation in class discussion are also required. All of the above is in preparation for a required weeklong tripto San Salvador, Bahamas, before and during Thanksgiving Break in order to examine modern analogs to the450-million-year-old rocks in central Kentucky. Students must provide their own transportation to and from Ft.Lauderdale, in addition to the cost of the weeklong stay that costs approximately $1000 - 1100.DSP 130 - 002 Hoofbeats Mean Horses in Kentucky (3 CR)Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical SciencesIf Central Kentucky has a “brand,” it is horses. Within a 20 mile radius of Lexington, we find more than 20,000horses of many different breeds. Most of the horses belong to the Thoroughbred breed, but the Blue Grassregion has been a cradle for Standardbred, American Saddlebred, Arabian and other horse breeds. Horses arealso important worldwide. Major horse regions in the world include Deauville, France; Hokkaido, Japan;Newmarket, United Kingdom; Saratoga, New York as well as Lexington, Kentucky. The temperate climate,limestone bedrock feeding bluegrass forages and simple history of horses in Kentucky coalesce to makeLexington the unabashed horse capital of the world. Before the advent of the industrial age, horses were amajor source of power and transportation. For example, human populations that harnessed horses had majoradvantages over those that did not. Horses continue to be important to our economy today, albeit for differentreasons, including recreation and sport. In addition, the horse industry generates jobs and money comparableto the motion picture, apparel and railway industries. The relationship of horses to humans is historical,cultural, economical and behavioral, and we will consider these aspects in light of their biology. This course willbe presented as a science-based course for non-science students. Throughout the course the questions will beasked, “How do we know this information? Why do we believe it? Is it true?”DSP 130 - 003 Quantum Theory for Everyone (3 CR)Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical SciencesIs the moon really there when nobody is looking? Can a cat simultaneously be both dead and alive? Do you liketo think about and try to solve puzzles, especially those which can take you beyond everyday human experienceinto the bizarre realm of the quantum world? In chemistry class we learn that the electrons in an atom havediscrete, quantized energy states. But what are the laws of physics which dictate this behavior in atoms, andwhat are the implications of these laws in other physical systems? We will explore in a largely nonmathematicalway the nature of the quantum theory and discover how it can be widely applied in a number ofinteresting cases. We also will discuss various interpretations of the meaning of the quantum theory. (Mostphysicists are content to use the theory to make precise calculations of physical properties, but it is great fun toalso think about “what it all means.”) This class is guaranteed to be unlike any you have ever experienced.“If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has notunderstood the first thing about it.” – Niels Bohr28
