Impressed By Tyner Students' Participation In Quantum Days

  • Thursday, May 9, 2024

Wow! I am so impressed by the Tyner students' participation in Quantum Days. What a great opportunity for them to use their imaginations and pursue learning of such an exciting, vibrant and creative subject. 

My first tickle of the wonderful world of physics (and its cousin, quantum mechanics) started when watching Star Trek as a teenager. You can't imagine my delight when I was earnestly discussing an episode with my brilliant and encouraging father, Tom Geraghty, and discovered things like black holes, time bending, worm holes were, at least theoretically real.

What a great world to explore.
