Science2Go | Gravitational Waves and Electromagnetic Waves from a Compact binary Merger

Public talk
Gravitational waves are ripples of space-time predicted by Albert Einstein almost 100 years ago. In 2015, the first direct detection of the gravitational waves was achieved. The source was a merger of two black holes. In 2017, the first direct detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves was achieved. The source was a merger of two neutron stars. In this talk, I would like to present what these scientific achievements brought us and what the prospect is. [more]

Discussion: Einstein and the Quantum: Entanglement and Emergence

Public Event
With his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein illuminated the grand expanse of the cosmos, but he was also instrumental in developing quantum mechanics for describing the microworld. In Einstein’s day, these advances were considered unrelated but recent insights suggest that they may be secretly connected–significantly advancing our understanding of quantum threads that may stitch the fabric of spacetime. Leonard Susskind, Ana Alonso-Serrano and Mark Van Raamsdonk join Brian Greene to examine this newfound link and explore its implications for uniting the laws of the large and those of the small. [more]

Public talk (in German) “Gravitationswellen - wenn stellare Schwarze Löcher verschmelzen”

Public talk
More than 100 years ago, Albert Einstein predicted that large, compact, and fast-moving masses, such as those that occur in stellar explosions, cause dents in space-time that propagate like waves. These gravitational waves produce tiny length changes over millions of light-years as small as a fraction of an atomic nucleus. Their analysis illuminates, among other things, the physical processes of distant mergers of massive, compact objects that remain hidden from conventional astronomical measurement methods. [more]

Public talk
In September 2015, gravitational waves from the collision of two black holes were observed directly for the first time.

Astronomy is a science as old as humanity – the view of the night sky has always fascinated us. We have developed increasingly sophisticated telescopes that allow us to observe the entire electromagnetic spectrum. But there are other sources of information from space! Particles come directly from the interior of stellar explosions, and waves in space-time – gravitational waves – have been detectable for several years. With all these different “messengers”, we are gaining a much more comprehensive picture of our universe – with the help of multi-messenger astronomy. [more]

Public talk (in German) “Multimessenger astronomy: on the trail of cosmic secrets”

Public talk
Our Universe harbours a huge variety of fascinating phenomena and interesting objects. Neutron stars, for example, are a place of extreme physical conditions.
