Las lupas de nuestro universo, por Víctor Boscá Navarro, en el Blog de Madri+d

La teoría de la relatividad general describe la interacción gravitatoria entre distintos cuerpos con masa. Einstein llegó a la conclusión de que la gravedad no es una fuerza, como formuló Newton, sino una consecuencia de la geometría del espacio-tiempo (el modelo matemático que combina el espacio y el tiempo en un único concepto).

Postdoctoral position funded by the "Atracción de Talento" grant

The Quantum Fields, Gravity and Strings group at the IFT UAM-CSIC in Madrid (Spain) welcomes applications for one 3-year postdoctoral position funded by the "Atracción de Talento" grant (2019-T1/T1C-15568, Paolo Benincasa) awarded by the Madrid Regional Government.
