| Proving Einstein Right: a talk by Prof Ian Morison - 14th August |
A very gentle introduction to Einstein’s theories and how, for
over a century, astronomers, including those at Jodrell Bank, have been testing them to the limit. The recent
direct detection of gravitational waves has further shown that so far nothing has hinted that they might not be true –
even though we know that at the heart of a Black Hole his theories must break down.
Tuesday, 14th August 2018 at 19:30. Frossard Lecture Theatre, Candie Gardens. Free admission.

La
Société Guernesiaise was founded in 1882 to encourage the
study of the history, natural history, geography and geology of the Bailiwick
of Guernsey, the conservation of the Bailiwick’s natural environment
and the preservation of its historic buildings and monuments. 125 years
later, this is as much true as it was then and the Société is
the second largest landowner after the States of Guernsey and is very
active in promoting, conserving and studying all aspects of island
life.
