Lawrence Krauss Transdisciplinary explorations at the edge of knowledge… *Free coffee will be provided* DECEMBER 1, 2014 3:00pm Biodesign Auditorium “GRAVITATIONAL WAVES FROM THE BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS” Abstract: Gravitational Waves from Inflation may have been discovered, or may soon be discovered. If they are, this will push our empirical handle on the universe forward by 49 orders of magnitude, and will allow us to explore issues ranging from supersymmetry to grand unification, the quantum theory of gravity, and even the possible existence of other universes. Dr. Krauss is Director of the ASU Origins Project at Arizona State University and Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the Department of Physics. Described by Scientific American as a unique scientific 'public intellectual', Krauss is a renowned theoretical physicist as well as one of the most well-known advocates for science worldwide. In addition to over 300 scientific publications, He has written nine books for a general audience, including the international bestsellers The Physics of Star Trek and A Universe From Nothing, with translations into over 20 languages. His research has focused on the intersection on cosmology and elementary particle physics, including general relativity and quantum gravity, the early universe, the origin of mass, neutrino astrophysics, and the long term future of the universe. He is the winner of numerous international awards, and is the only physicist to have received major awards from all three US physics societies.
