CAPA-INMA seminar: Alicia Sintes
CAPA-INMA seminar: “Listening to the Universe”, latest advances with gravitational waves”
Alicia Sintes, Professor at the University of the Balearic Islands, will give a lecture entitled: “Listening to the Universe”, latest advances with gravitational waves”, next Tuesday 14th March at 12:00 h in the Sala de Grados of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Zaragoza.
Abstract: Astrophysics is living a revolutionary era: new techniques, instruments and theories are giving for the first time truthful and coherent answers to the great questions that humanity has been pursuing for centuries. In this talk we will focus on gravitational waves, captured for the first time in 2015, and one of the greatest scientific milestones of this century. These new messengers of the universe will allow us to open a new window on the cosmos that could revolutionise our understanding of the Universe in which we live. We will explain what these ripples of space-time are, how they are detected and what new information they bring us.
The seminar is organised by the Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón (INMA), a joint institute of the CSIC and the University of Zaragoza, together with the Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA), of the University of Zaragoza, and with the collaboration of the local Aragón section of the Royal Spanish Physical Society and the Faculty of Science of the University of Zaragoza.
The seminar is part of the XI Jornadas de Divulgación Científica de la Universidad de Zaragoza: https://ucc.unizar.es/einstein/programa.
