Think Beyond: Monthly Live Breakout Sessions & Scientific Q&A with Dr. Olivier Alirol
About the Event
Join us for the next session of our Think Beyond monthly series, featuring Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Olivier Alirol.
Black Holes Are the Solution
Black holes are not Hollywood vacuum cleaners. They are the central solution of Einstein’s field equations — first written in 1916, long doubted, then heard by LIGO, photographed by the Event Horizon Telescope, and honoured with a Nobel Prize. James Webb now shows they sit at the heart of galaxies from the beginning, not as a late accident. Read to the end, that same geometry is a wormhole; at the proton it is how vacuum fluctuations curve spacetime into mass. One object, every scale — and the key to what physics still calls mystery.
Interactive Format
As with all Think Beyond sessions, this event is highly interactive:
