Postdocs in Particle and Astroparticle Physics

The Institute for Theoretical Physics IFT CSIC/UAM (https://www.ift.uam-csic.es/en) welcomes applications to postdoctoral positions, starting October 2021, under various  programs:

Universos en la ciénaga, por Luis Ibáñez, en Investigación Y Ciencia

Un nuevo programa de investigación intenta cartografiar qué teorías físicas son incompatibles con la gravedad cuántica. Los resultados podrían tener consecuencias verificables en cosmología y física de partículas.

The 2020 Nobel Prize goes to… Black Holes!

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 with one half to Roger Penrose (University of Oxford, UK) “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” and the other half jointly to Rein

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).
