Longest Physics Lecture in History?

Posted by simoniker on from the if-i-could-turn-back-time dept.

gfrege writes "Perhaps you remember some long physics lectures from your days at school. But as part of a general strike of students at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin concerning cuts in funding for the city's universities, some physicists are in the middle of what could be the longest physics lecture in history. It started at noon on Monday, and is planned to run to noon on Thursday. Check out the topics, and if you're in Berlin, come on down. The Babelfish translations of the lecture titles make for some fun reading, too, if you can't make it there yourself."

    Russian Ark was a one shot movie... and many others, spannign 300 years. But still too short?

    Physics should be a lifelong process.

    And... if not... I mean, how much can someone soak up in one sitting?

    Longer films required... Warhol meets professor meets Cage meets the horizongal spread of a red oak tree, and all its thousand year circles.

    Physics should be a lifelong process. That's my mantra and I'm sticking to it.
