From General Relativity to the Big Bang
Between 1905 and 1915 Einstein created modern physics through its works on relativity and quanta. Black holes, primary gravity waves, the inflating universe and the Big Bang models are some his conceptual breakthroughs.
The conference will trace the path of Einstein's work and his successors. A path snaking through the unexpected space-time corridors leading to a fascinating dive at that time in the XXI century into this world of black holes and to a high precision cosmology mixing relativy, quantum physics and observation of the deep sky.
The conference will be illustrated by spectacular animations simulated by a computer.
