Title: Testing gravity with black holes, binary pulsars and the microwave background
Date: Thursday, June 21st, 2012
Time: 16:00
Venue: SISSA
***********************************************************
Abstract: We will discuss three somewhat disjoint topics, but connected by way of gravity: 1. how to check if black holes and stars fall at the same rate; 2. how to detect gravitational waves using binary pulsars; 3. how to obtain information about fluctuations beyond our horizon.
