TITLE:
Inquiring Through Black Holes
ABSTRACT:
Black holes have become unique tools in the understanding of a plethora of
phenomena in vastly different fronts. From understanding spectacularly energetic
events in our universe, gaining insights on potential new particles to unraveling
seemingly unrelated phenomena. As we move through the 2nd century of General
Relativity, the combination of observations together with a deeper understanding
of the theory will catalyze new breakthroughs touching, arguably, all areas of
physics.
In this talk, we will connect with several of these fronts, and discuss opportunities
from-and-to black holes.
