Am Montag, den 09. September 2024 hält  Dr. Stephan Schlamminger vom National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg USA einen Gastvortrag zum Thema  "Experimental Gravitation: What we know --- and don’t".

Der Vortrag findet um 13:00 Uhr im Newtonbau, Raum 2010 statt.

Interessenten sind herzlich eingeladen. 

Abstract:

Historically, the theory of gravitation was constructed first through inductive
reasoning based on observations and later refined through deductive
reasoning with the equivalence of acceleration and a uniform gravitational field as
a core tenet. In any case, experiments played an important role in testing the main
and the alternative theories of gravitation. In this talk, I’ll give an overview of
experimental gravitational work. In the talk, I will focus on laboratory experiments
but will mention satellite and astronomical observations in passing.
