Vortrag / Lecture

„Einstein’s Universe“

Brian Foster, Experimental particle physicist (Universität Hamburg/University of Hamburg )

The public lecture explores Einstein's love of music and his favourite instrument, the violin, with many of the concepts of modern physics that he did so much to found. It introduces Einstein's life and involvement with music and how his ideas have shaped our concepts of space, time and the evolution of the universe. The second half describes how Einstein’s ideas still shape our understanding of the universe and how the elementary particles and forces that govern its evolution are explored in particular at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. Free admission! Ask questions! After the lectures, we cordially invite you to talk to our scientists in person over a drink: What are quarks and what are Higgs particles? What excites you about space telescopes, particle collisions and supersymmetry? Our researchers are looking forward to the exchange!
