Past Events

CIERA 2010-11 PUBLIC LECTURE - October 2010

Prof. Kip Thorne

California Institute of Technology

“The Warped Side of our Universe: From the Big Bang to Black Holes and Gravitational Waves”

There is a Warped Side to our Universe: objects and phenomena that are made from warped space and warped time. Three examples are black holes, the big-bang in which our Universe was born, and ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves. Thorne will describe the Warped Side of our Universe and the quest to probe it theoretically using computer simulations, and observationally using gravitational waves.
