Local History Lecture: Quantum Physics at The Pocono Manor Inn

Join us for a fascinating local history lecture in our Pullen Room. Presented by Jim Adams, our resident history librarian, as he explores a pivotal moment in science that took place right here in the Poconos. The lecture will focus on the 1948 Pocono Conference, the second of three conferences held at the Pocono Manor Inn. This conference was a crucial event in the development of quantum electrodynamics, a field that would later lead to Richard Feynman winning the 1965 Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work. Learn about the conference’s impact, the key figures involved, and how it shaped the future of physics. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to dive into a piece of history that helped shape the world of modern science!
