Walter Hardy Jeremy Heyl Philip Stamp Bill Unruh
University of British Columbia
This event is intended for the whole family - children and
adults, age from 7 to 90. We will have demonstrations (some involving the
audience), short presentations, and, most importantly, a free-for all
audience-based discussion - any and all topics and questions welcome. 25th
Nov 2015 marks 100 years - to the day - after Einstein proposed his
landmark ideas on space, time, and gravitation. We celebrate this by
showing some amazing results of his life's work - including
superconducting levitation (which results from Bose-Einstein statistics),
coherent light, spacetime curvature and the Big Bang, Black Holes, neutron
stars and supernovae. Come with whatever questions you wish to ask, and we
will try to answer them.
This lecture is one of the PITP's special public events to celebrate the Centenary of General Relativity. You can find the resource material here.
Additional resources for this talk: slides and
video.
