Dr. Samir Mathur helped describe the work of Stephen Hawking and his black hole information loss paradox of 1925. Specifically how energy can become zero when many objects are placed near the blackhole. It was very interesting learning more about the work of this famous scientist. Before this lecture, I had never really known about Stephen Hawking’s work. Learning more about his work has given me a greater appreciation for physics.
This talk was certainly different from many of the others, Erin. I am happy to hear that it sparked some interest in a field you have not spent much time thinking about and about a historical figure in science as well.
