Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Dr Jack Elvin-Poole is a postdoctoral fellow at the Ohio State's Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (CCAPP). He obtained his PhD from the University of Manchester in 2018 where he studied the large-scale structure of the universe and neutrino cosmology. His main research interests are using galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing to test the Lambda-CDM cosmological model.

Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Megan Donahue is a professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, Michigan. She is interested in astrophysical questions relating to intergalactic baryons, particularly those surrounding galaxies. Those questions range from cosmology and dark matter to galaxy evolution. Her PhD in astrophysics is from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Phys10 - The Science and Fiction of Causality Violations and Time Travel

Dr. Barak Shoshany

Professor
Brock University

Next week’s phys 10 lecture is given by Dr. Barak Shoshany, a time travel physicist, from Brock University. Dr. Shoshany uses the concepts of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to try to figure out a way to time travel to the future and to the past. I could say he could have the manual of how to become a time traveler.
