The Science of Black Holes

Black holes are some of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. They bend spacetime, hide immense quantities of information, and challenge our understanding of physics itself. Recent research has revealed that black holes are not empty or featureless, but contain a vast amount of quantum information on their horizons - an idea known as the holographic principle.

In this talk, we will explore what is currently known about black holes, their elusive event horizons, and how modern theoretical physics is revealing deep connections between gravity, quantum mechanics, and the cosmos. Along the way, we will see how these discoveries expand our understanding of the universe and highlight just how much remains to be learned about the space around us.

Whether you're just starting your journey into space or already exploring the big questions, this talk is for you.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
