*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: Black Holes, Spaghettification, and Time Travel<br>
*Lecturer*:Nils Deppe<br>
*Position*: Postdoctoral Fellow<br>
*Institution*:Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
Gravity on Earth is quite boring: it makes apples fall. However, near a black
hole things get really strange. Time slows down and everything becomes
spaghetti. Can we abuse gravity to achieve time travel or to visit distant
galaxies? What is preventing us from turning science fiction into science fact?
Come learn about the wild and whacky side of gravity and how black holes are too
weird even for Hollywood sci-fi movies like Interstellar.
