SUMMARY:Gravitational Waves\, Black Holes and Experimental Tests of Gravit
 ational Theory - Professor Thibault Damour (Institut des Hautes Études Sc
 ientifiques)

CONTACT:Dr Jo Ashbourn
DESCRIPTION:\nGravitational waves and black holes are two of the most nove
 l predictions of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. These predicti
 ons emerged with the discovery of General Relativity in 1916. However\, it
  took many years to grasp their physical meaning and even more years to ob
 tain direct evidence for their reality.\nThe lecture will review both the 
 theoretical developments that led to our understanding of gravitational wa
 ves and black holes\, and the experimental discoveries that confirmed thei
 r physical existence and the validity of Einstein’s theory of gravitatio
 n.\n
