Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: none
Investigate an old hypothesis, that gravity is similar to EM. Clone a Lagrange density for gravity from EM. Quantize the unified field. Impress friends by deriving Newton's law of gravity using perturbations of a normalized potential, dodging the distance dependence problem. Eliminate the need for dark matter and energy using the chain rule. Dine on Grand Marnier chocolate truffles while discussing the subtle underlying ideas.
