100 Years of Einstein’s Gravity: (Inquiring Minds Public Lecture)

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

School of Physics Inquiring Minds Public Lecture: Drs. Laura Cadonati & Deirdre Shoemaker

Curved spacetime, relativistic time, black holes and gravitational waves are just a few topics in Einstein’s theory of gravity called Special and General Relativity.  Professors Cadonati and Shoemaker will take you on a journey of gravity and how it shapes research today.  The journey will highlight two of the more controversial results of Einstein’s theory, black holes and gravitational waves, which represent the most exciting challenge in modern astrophysics.
