A discussion on the flatness of the Universe
by Andrzej Marecki 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Just to point your attention to a thread on sci.astro.research where the flatness of the Universe is questioned/defended. The title of the thread starts with "Flat Earthers..." -- a.m. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrzej Marecki | Torun Centre for Astronomy | e-mail: amr(a)astro.uni.torun.pl N.

festiwal nauk i sztuki 2008 - DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION czwartek 22.11.2008
by Boud Roukema 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

witam cosmo-torun The deadline for submitting a proposal for this year's Festiwal Nauk i Sztuki is Thursday 22.11.2008. FNiS2008 will be 24-27 kwietnia 2008. http://cosmo.torun.pl/Cosmo/FestiwalNauki2007 Who is interested in doing a cosmo presentation? Agnieszka? Are you likely to be available 24-27 April? Zbyszek? Or maybe Helena - are you interested? Or someone else? My guess is the easiest thing is to keep the same title/content as last year, since they remain scientifically valid AFAIK. If Agnieszka at the last minute is not available, then Zbyszek or i can easily make that part of the presentation (if you give us your pdf presentation file :) - so the audience will still get a full presentation. Last year we were Friday afternoon 20 April; i suggest we do the same, this year ask for Friday 25 April. http://cosmo.torun.pl/Cosmo/FestiwalNauki2007 pozdr boud

Mon 19 Nov 16.30 @sala XX.IF: JP Luminet - the shape of space
by Boud Roukema 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Witam The embassy changed its plans a bit, so now Jean-Pierre's talk is planned for Monday afternoon 19 Nov as a regular sala XX seminar: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16.30 on Mon 19 November, sala XX, Instytut Fizyki (ul. Grudziadzka, 5) TITLE: The shape of space : from black holes to cosmic topology SPEAKER: Jean-Pierre Luminet, Laboratoire de l'Univers et Théories (LUTH), Observatoire de Paris-Meudon, http://luth2.obspm.fr/luminet.html ABSTRACT: The decription of the shape of our physical space at various scales (length scales or energy scales) involves a rich variety of geometrical models, each depending on the underlying physical theory. Imaging distorted space and time by gravitational and quantum fields is a big challenge of modern fundamental physics. I shall discuss such space representations for describing the shape of space around and inside black holes, next the global shape of our universe in the framework of cosmic topology. Striking movies and color visualizations will be displayed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- He'll give a talk about Copernicus - in French - in the morning at 11.00am at "the University" (i guess Collegium Maius, though this is just a guess) and the new Alliance Francaise will be opened at 15:00 (which is why JPL will come straight from the opening ceremony to Instytut Fizyki and we suggest 16.30 as the official starting time). We suggest an informal meeting over dinner some time in the evening, especially for the people in our cosmology group who will be in Torun at the time! pozdr boud
