October 2021 - Gravitational Waves, Dark Energy and Black Holes, Prof. Malcolm Longair's image
Description: What are stars? How do they evolve and die? Why do we need general relativity to describe their behaviour? What are black holes? What is the astronomical evidence for their existence? What are gravitational waves? Can wormholes in space-time exist? Is the film Interstellar feasible?
All these questions and more answered in Prof Longair’s lecture.
