Alumni Festival: How to bake a black hole - where mathematical analysis and general relativity meet
Fri Sep 18th 2026, 2.30pm to 3.30pm
Venue:
Ray Dolby Centre, West Cambridge Site
Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, changed the way we think about our universe, showing that gravity is not simply a force pulling objects together, but a bending of space and time itself. Join Dr Zoe Wyatt in this Alumni Festival talk for a lay introduction to some key ideas, and to explore recent advances in her research field of mathematical general relativity.
