3:30–4:30 pm Zoom Room (online)
Lavinia Heisenberg, ETH, Zurich, "Gravitational Symphony"
I will introduce gravity from complementary perspectives and ask the main protagonists to join the stage. Based on the assumption that General Relativity is the underlying theory of gravity I will introduce the standard model of cosmology and discuss the tenacious challenges we are facing within this framework. Starting from the defining key properties of General Relativity I will explain in which consistent ways these properties can be altered. We will then see how we can use different observational channels and theoretical consistency checks in order to critically assess the underlying gravity theory.
