OLLI Lecture | The Outer Limits: Exploring the Extremes of Astronomy
Показать описание
October 2, 2019 -
In recent years, Astronomers have learned of the existence of the ‘gravity waves’ caused by massive stellar collisions. Our technology has evolved to the point where we are now frequently observing things that were once purely theoretical. Just this year, radio astronomers managed to snap an image of a Black Hole for the first time in history. From these gigantic objects to the tiniest of things being smashed in the world’s particle accelerators, our findings in physics are now also testing the limits of our imaginations! In this lesson, we explore the latest discoveries and see if we can come to a new understanding of the increasingly strange nature of the universe.
