This is the web version of a talk I recently gave to a group of philosophy students.  I think it would make a good first presentation of quantum mechanics for both high school and college students.  I teach quantum mechanics at Valdosta State University, along with some other really interesting (to me, anyway) courses. 

The Images

WAll the images were taken from one of the following sites:  Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), NASA, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), Chandra X-Ray Observatory, Two-Micron Sky Survey, SOHO, Spaceweather, and Spitzer Infrared Space Telescope.  I hope I haven't left anyone out.  Thank you, NASA, ESA, and the Russian Space Agency for all the incredible instruments you have built in the last 20 years.
