In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's general theory of relativity, we examine its essential insights, its lingering questions, the latest work it has sparked, and the allied fields of research that have resulted. World-renowned leaders in theoretical physics, cosmology, black holes, gravitational waves, and unification will discuss Einstein’s greatest achievement and give a glimpse of what the next century of discovery may have in store. The Kavli Prize recognizes scientists for their seminal advances in astrophysics, nanoscience, and neuroscience. The series, “The Big, the Small, and the Complex,” is sponsored by The Kavli Foundation and The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.Learn More
TOPICS: Physics & Math, Space & The Cosmos
TAGS: 2016, Albert Einstein, Andrew Strominger, black holes, Brian Greene Explains That Whole General Relativity Thing, Cumrun Vafa, Gabriela González, General relativity, general theory of relativity, gravitational waves, Introduction to general relativit, modern physics, quantum mechanics, quantum physics, Reality Since Einstein, Samir Mathur, Special relativity, stephen colbert, Stephen Hawking, Steven Weinberg, Theory of Everything, Wormholes
