Title: Blackholes or Dinosaurs? How Do We Study What We Cannot See?
Abstract:
How do we know something existed if we can’t see it?
Dinosaurs vanished millions of years ago, and black holes are invisible by nature. Yet scientists are remarkably confident about both. In this talk, we explore how science uncovers the unseen by following clues left behind in stone, light and gravity.
