SUMMARY:Gravitational Waves: What's the Big Deal?  Cliff Burgess (McMaster-
  Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics)
DESCRIPTION:Gravitational Waves: What's the Big Deal?
\nCliff Burgess (Mc M
 aster - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics)
\nGravitational waves
  were recently seen coming from the coalescence of two black holes a great
  distance away. This talk intends to convey three things: 1. why modern t
 heories of forces always require the existence of waves\; 2. why this requ
 irement is partly driven by relativity (largely because of its requirement
  that nothing goes faster than light\, which in turn is founded on the imp
 ossibility of being able to sends signals into one's own past)\; and 3. wh
 y seeing gravitational waves from black holes is likely to teach us much a
 bout the universe as a whole in addition to learning about the waves and b
 lack holes themselves.
\nCette conférence s'adresse à tous\, y compris l
 es professeurs\, les chercheurs et les étudiants des trois cycles. Le caf
 é est servi à partir de 11h30.
