Speaker: Andrew StromingerTitle: Third Annual Yip LectureVenue: Harvard Science CenterAndrew Strominger will give the Third Annual Yip Lecture on February 2, 2023. Time: 7:00-8:00 pm ET Location: Harvard Science Center Hall A Registration is required. In-person Registration Zoom Webinar Registration Title: Black Holes: The Most Mysterious Objects in the Universe Abstract: In the last decade black holes have come to center stage in both theoretical and observational science. Theoretically, they were shown a half-century ago by Stephen Hawking and others to obey a precise but still-mysterious set of laws which imply they are paradoxically both the simplest and most complex objects in the universe. Compelling progress on this paradox has occurred recently. Observationally, they have finally and dramatically been seen in the sky, including at LIGO and… |

Speaker:Title: Second Annual Yip Lecture: Extraterrestrial LifeVenue: Harvard Science CenterHarvard CMSA hosted the second annual Yip Lecture on April 4, 2022. The Yip Lecture takes place thanks to the support of Dr. Shing-Yiu Yip. This year’s speaker was Avi Loeb (Harvard). Extraterrestrial Life Abstract: Are we alone? It would be arrogant to think that we are, given that a quarter of all stars host a habitable Earth-size planet. Upcoming searches will aim to detect markers of life in the atmospheres of planets outside the Solar System. We also have unprecedented technologies to detect signs of intelligent civilizations through industrial pollution of planetary atmospheres, space archaeology of debris from dead civilizations or artifacts such as photovoltaic cells that are used to re-distribute light and heat on the… |
