Saturday, March 13, 2010
12:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building
Speaker: Professor Leo Pando-Zayas (Physics)
String theory is the only consistent theory of quantum gravity and has already explained important microscopic aspects of some black holes. In this talk, Professor Pando-Zayas will consider the motion of some strings around black holes and show that in some cases this motion is chaotic. Additionally, Professor Pando-Zayas will argue that this chaos might provide a window into interesting processes in black holes physics such as the information loss paradox.
