Shoemaker, Deirdre; Cadonati, Laura
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.
