Our Universe has a “warped side” — objects and phenomena, like black holes and the big-bang, that are made not from matter, but rather from warped space and warped time. Thorne will describe this mysterious warped side and the quest to simulate it using supercomputers and observe it using gravitational waves.

Seating will begin at 6:45 pm. Parking is available in the lot near the Adler.
