Photographing a black hole?
Starting in April 2017,
international research-
ers linked radio telescopes
around the world, aim-
ing them simultaneously at
Sagittarius A* (pronounced
A-star), the enormous black
hole at the center of our
galaxy.
The goal? To take a pic-
ture of a supposedly invisible
object in space, the black hole
itself. Data from this remark-
able Event Horizon Telescope
Project is currently being ana-
lyzed. What will we learn?
What will it all mean?
Dr. Larry Price is curi-
ous, too. He will speak at The
Belfry on Tuesday, March
26, for the next lecture in the
2018-19 Frontiers in Science
series, sponsored by the
Sisters Science Club.
<Success will provide
the first opportunity to mea-
sure directly the properties
of black holes, still-mysteri-
ous objects which have only
been observed indirectly until
now,= Dr. Price explains.
The research will pro-
vide an incomparable test of
Einstein9s General Theory of
Relativity at extreme values
of the gravitational field, Dr.
Price says. And, perhaps most
important, it should give sci-
entists important clues with
which to construct the still-
elusive quantum theory of
gravity.
Dr. Price will explain all
of this, without assuming any
technical knowledge on the
part of the audience, to pro-
vide a good framework for
following what should be one
of the hot scientific stories of
2019 and beyond.
Dr. Price, a physicist spe-
cializing in elementary parti-
cles, holds degrees in physics
from Pomona College (BA)
and Harvard University (MA
and PhD). He is retired from
a career at Argonne National
Laboratory, where he held
the rank of senior physicist
and was director of the High
Energy Physics Division.
He has served on multiple
national and international
committees for particle phys-
ics and related fields, includ-
ing the High Energy Physics
Advisory Panel, the U.S.
Federal Advisory Committee
for elementary particle
physics.
Dr. Price9s lecture, <The
Big Picture: Photographing
the Black Hole at the Center
of the Galaxy= starts at 7 p.m.
at The Belfry, with an intro-
duction by astrophysicist Dr.
Ron Polidan.
Social hour begins at 6
p.m. with light fare, beer, and
wine available. Admission is
$5; teachers and students are
admitted free. The Belfry is
located at 302 E. Main Ave.,
Sisters.
D r. D a n i e l L o w d 9s
rescheduled lecture,
<Algorithms and Artificial
Intelligence: Science Takes
on Fake News,= is set for
Tuesday, April 23. Dr. Bob
Collins will speak on <The
Brain Makes the Mind= on
Tuesday, May 7.
