Dear all,
Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for submissions of abstracts for
this workshop is in a week from now, on 31st March.
Foundational Challenges in Cosmological Studies of Black Holes
14th May 2024
University of Bonn
With the emergence of new observational windows, black holes are
increasingly used in constraining cosmological theories. This workshop aims
to address the major foundational and methodological challenges in
cosmological studies of black holes: What are the methodological principles
of these searches? What should we expect from future observations? How do
long-standing research programs look from the new vantage points? What
foundational lessons can be drawn from cosmological studies of new physics?
The workshop will facilitate a multi-disciplinary perspective on the
cosmological implications of black holes, by bringing together
contributions from theoretical physics, astronomy, and the philosophy of
physics.
List of speakers:
- Kristen Lackeos (Max-Planck-Institut fur Radioastronomie, Bonn)
- Antonia Frassino (University of Barcelona)
- Jamee Elder (Tufts University)
- Erik Curiel (University of Bonn, Harvard University?s Black Hole
Initiative)
- Juliusz Doboszewski (University of Bonn, Harvard University?s Black
Hole Initiative)
Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- primordial black holes as dark matter candidates
- epistemology of gravitational wave astrophysics
- model agnostic searches and notions of model independence
- philosophical issues in multi-messenger astronomy
- alternatives to black holes
- statistical wars in astrophysics and cosmology
- foundational issues in black hole physics
Call for Abstracts:
