School chosen to exhibit at Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2008
The General Relativity Group in the School of Mathematics at the University of Southampton have been selected to exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition.
Under the leadership of Professor Nils Andersson, the relativity group at Southampton are joining forces with the Albert Einstein Institute, Germany, the School of Physics and Astronomy at the Universities of Birmingham and Cardiff and Glasgow to provide an exhibit entitled "Can you hear black holes?". The exhibit will showcase the exciting science associated with black holes and gravitational waves.
Running from 30th June-3rd July 2008, the Royal Society Summer Science exhibition is a premier annual showcase for scientific excellence in the UK. Research teams are invited to bid to provide an exhibit on their work, and after a stiff competition the best are selected for display to scientists, the media and the general public alike. After the meeting a web-page virtual exhibition is maintained by the Royal Society.
