Podcast: Reproducing a Black Hole in the Laboratory, and other Quantum Theories
August 27, 2009In a recent study, Professor of Physics and Astronomy Miles Blencowe and his colleagues proposed a new way of creating a reproduction black hole in the laboratory.
As a quantum theorist, this artificial black hole would be on a much, much tinier scale than their celestial counterparts.
In this podcast, Blencowe talks about his research and the importance of understanding the quantum world.
