Peter Galison in the Classroom - Great Teachers

In this video we offer you an inside look at the sort of dynamic and provocative teaching that takes place in Harvard's classrooms. On the final day of his General Education course on "The Einstein Revolution," Peter Galison ties the various threads of the course together while sharing the stage with Mike Einziger, lead guitarist for the band Incubus, and his collaborator, rock violinist Suzie Katayama. Peter Galison is the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor in the Department of the History of Science, and the Department of Physics. Galison's work explores the complex interaction between three principal subcultures of twentieth century physics -- experimentation, instrumentation, and theory. He is interested in the intersection of philosophical and historical questions such as these: What, at a given time, convinces people that an experiment is correct? How do scientific subcultures form interlanguages of theory and things at their mutual borders—and borders that link physics with film, philosophy, technology, and national security.
