The Big-Bang and Black Holes: Geometry and Physics Beyond Einstein
Abstract:
The big-bang and black holes are perhaps the most dramatic manifestations of
the synergistic interplay between geometry and physics. While they both emerge
from general relativity, they also bring out its limitations. In this talk,
I will illustrate how quantum geometry effects can create new paradigms to
resolve some of these difficulties, thereby extending and enhancing the interplay
between geometry and physics.
