Overiview
In Norse mythology, the Bifröst is a blazing rainbow bridge that connects Midgård (Earth) and Asgård, the realm of the gods.
In a similar spirit, black holes represent bridges between classical gravity and the uncharted territory of quantum gravity. General relativity well describes the spacetime surrounding black holes, yet understanding their interiors requires quantum gravity.
"Bifrost: Black Hole Insights – navigating the FROntiers of SpaceTime" is a dedicated workshop aimed at gathering leading experts from observational astronomy to theoretical physics. Together, participants will explore novel ideas that will help bridge classical and quantum gravity.
The workshop is jointly organized by the Quantum Theory Center (QTC) at the Danish Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), University of Southern Denmark, and the Department of Physics "Ettore Pancini," Federico II University.
The event will take place on the QTC premises at Danish Institute for Advanced Study in Odense, Denmark.
