DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jeff Forshaw (Manchester\; Jeffrey.Forshaw@mancheste
 r.ac.uk)\n\nBlack holes are fascinating objects because of the way they fo
 rce us to address the biggest questions in physics such as the essential n
 ature of space and time. Black holes are formed when massive stars collaps
 e at the end of their life cycle. The first direct image of a black hole a
 nd its vicinity was published in 2019 using observations made by the Event
  Horizon Telescope in 2027.I will introduce black holes and go on to exami
 ne the consequences of trying to track the flow of information into and ou
 t of a black hole. Recent insights indicate that space and time are emerge
 nt features related to key concepts including “quantum entanglement”\,
  and in a fashion that bears some resemblance to “quantum error correcti
 ng codes”\, such as are needed to make stable quantum computers. Jeff F
 orshaw is professor of particle physics at the University of Manchester. H
 e is the author of four popular science books\, written together with Prof
 essor Brian Cox. He won the 1999 Maxwell Medal for contributions to theore
 tical physics and the 2013 Kelvin Medal for contributions to the public un
 derstanding of science.\n\nhttps://indico.stfc.ac.uk/event/1951/
