Explore the fascinating world of Einstein's theories in this comprehensive lecture on black holes, gravitational waves, and other mind-bending concepts from general relativity. Delve into how Einstein's ideas have permeated popular culture and everyday technology like GPS. Discover the groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves and their potential to unveil the secrets of black holes. Learn about the warping of space and time, gravitational lensing, and the global network of interferometers used to "listen" to cosmic events. Engage with thought-provoking topics like time travel, quantum gravity, and the possibility of artificially creating gravitational waves. This talk, delivered at St. Joseph's College in Bangalore, offers a comprehensive journey through Einstein's warped universe, from its artistic interpretations to its cutting-edge scientific applications.
