Science & Cocktails: Blakc Hole Mysteries
Advertisement
Science & Cocktails is proud to announce a unique episode about the most mysterious object in the universe: black holes. In a special panel discussion format featuring internationally renowned black hole superstars, Clifford Johnson, Sera Markoff, Alessandra Buonnano, Vitor Cardoso and Alexandru Lupsasca, moderated by Jácome (Jay) Armas, you will be hearing the latest news and wondering about the current mysteries surrounding Black Holes. After the panel discussion, danceable music in the foyer exchange ideas and questions with the scientists for Black Hole cocktails.
What is a black a hole? How many have we “seen” out there in the universe? What’s inside them? Are they really black? Do they keep galaxies together? Have they been around since the beginning of the universe? Do they collide with each other?
Black holes were once the ultimate disappearing act: regions of space so dense that not even light could escape, hidden behind a boundary called the event horizon. Today they are no longer just exotic theoretical ideas. We have heard them collide through ripples in spacetime, watched their shadows emerge from a planet-sized telescope, and begun to suspect that they may hold clues to the deepest rules of nature. This Science & Cocktails episode invites you to the edge of the abyss, where the universe becomes both brutally simple and dizzyingly complex.
You will be travelling from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking, from cosmic collisions to shimmering black-hole images, and from paradox to possibility. Along the way, we will ask whether the darkest objects in the cosmos might illuminate the path to solving the deepest mysteries in the universe.
Event held in English with the generous support of the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This special event also has the support of the Center of Gravity (CoG) at the Niels Bohr Institute.
