DESCRIPTION:We all decide our own paths in space and time\, and we all hav
 e intuitive expectations as to how space and time behave.  Before relativi
 ty space and time were just a blank canvas\; an empty stage where events c
 an occur.  Our intuitions about space and time are still grounded in this 
 notion\, but relativity tells us that this is just a glimpse of a far gran
 der picture.  In this talk\, we’ll discover how space and time are woven
  together to form the dynamic fabric of space-time\, and explore how relat
 ivity explains some of the last great questions of classical physics. We
 ’ll discuss how relativity not only had a seismic effect on the history 
 of the 20th century\, but also provides a unique perspective on our own pa
 th in space-time. As we study phenomena in the wider Universe beyond the d
 istance-\, speed- and time-scales of human experience\, we encounter a wid
 e range of relativistic phenomena in ‘extreme’ environments and in the
  fabric of the Universe itself. We will explore some of these situations t
 hat present a compelling validation of Einstein’s theory. \n\nSpeakers:\
