Dear Participants,
I'd like to remind you once again about the next lecture and add a brief note about it.
Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 7:00 p.m.
What Is Light? – On Rays, Waves, and Quanta
Prof. Dr. Sascha Skorupka, Professor of Physics and Engineering, Fulda University of Applied Sciences
To get you in the right frame of mind for this topic, I’d like to recommend Florian Freistetter’s excellent podcast, „Sternengeschichten.“.
Specifically, episodes 163, “Measuring the Speed of Light,” and 251, “Speed of Light.”.
Virtually all of the videos are under 10 minutes long.
As a trained astronomer, he is able to explain complex topics exceptionally well and in a clear, accessible way, so that almost anyone can understand them—even without much prior knowledge—at the latest after listening to the recording a few times; and his technical expertise is, of course, guaranteed.
According to followers, some episodes are even easy for children to follow.
See you in a week—hopefully as many of you as possible.
VG Rolf-Dieter Schad
