mechanics is the physics of bodies in motion. quantum mechanics is that at a quantum level. quantum physics is the more general description of all physical studies of quantum particles (electromagnetic, nuclear, etc).

Is this your question, or part of the title of the lecture?

Are you comfy on that couch Modeeb? Feeling relaxed?
Ah! Good.
Then we begin: As a starter, the use of the terms "Layman's Knowledge" and "Physic", given your predilection for sexual congress with almost any willing and, admittedly, attractive female, leads us into areas that beg the question "Why the hell do you care about quantums?".
Next session in 1 week and be prepared.
That'll be 80$ - next!

No, the lecture is about how space-time and quantum mechanics interact. It's a great topic, by the way, because it's something that needs a lot more research. Things at the quantum level tend to ignore large scale forces like space-time, so by extension actions at the quantum level might not be bound by time. I love this idea and wish I could see this lecture, but it's also why quantum physics makes people's heads hurt. 
When you start wrapping your mind around what happens at the quantum level, your whole view of the universe changes.

I might be able to do this lecture. It will be an occasion to get together with some people I know, too. I will be able to tell if I can track the discussion within the first 5 minutes. If not, I will split.

I just read that they made time stop by bending light so it made it appear that an action (light crossing another light path) never happened.
Totally cool stuff to me.

There is a path with wet eyes and a path with dry eyes. I am comfortable with a wet path. " The “wet†path is that of meditation and of induced out-of-body states." (Crackdoc, congress and sex?

Yeah, that was in last week's Science. This is the same group that has been working on invisibility by bending and diffusing light around objects. The laser experiment your talking about is another way of making things invisible. It was quite clever how they split the light into different wavelengths so they could knock them out with a second laser and then recombine the remaining light so that the observer at the end wouldn't be able to see the missing wavelengths. Not sure how you'll be able to hide a tank or aircraft carrier that way, but it sure was cool.
