[Colloquium] Physics : "Elementary Particles, Strings and Black Holes"

DONT MISS THIS!


This is to announce the following Physics Colloquium.

(NOTE THE SPECIAL DATE)


Title:  "Elementary Particles, Strings and Black Holes"

Date and Time: Thursday 20th, 4:00pm


Speaker: Bernard De Wit

Affiliation: Institute for Theoretical Physics,
             University of Utrecht,Netherlands


Abstract:

Progress in the theory of elementary particles gave rise to the discovery
of the standard model and of string theory. Some of these developments
will be described, both from a historical and from a more conceptual point
of view. They have had a major impact on our thinking about quantum
gravity, and especially about black holes. The more recent advances in the
theory of black holes in the context of supergravity and string theory
will be explained.

Venue: Main Physics Lecture Hall.
