You can sleep soundly: we will not be devoured by a black hole

Today Público, one of the main Portuguese daily newspaper, published a very nice piece on our group in Lisbon, talking about our recent paper and the group's supercomputer Baltasar Sete-Sóis.

Overused pictorial description of a black hole #4

Read more on Público (in Portuguese).

PS:

Why the long silence? Four (4) requests to referee received in 3 days (2 reports submitted, 2 to go), moved back to Lisbon 1 week ago, found new apartment, wrote 3 financial and scientific reports for my past fellowship, did paperwork for a new contract, prepared a talk i'm giving in 30 mins, read a Master thesis, trying to write a proposal and at the same time also trying to work (for real) and...live!

De devulgationi eloquentia

Our gravity group in Lisbon have just published a series of short movies where many group members describe some general aspect of Einstein's theory and beyond.

Have a look at Videoteca do Gravitão, muito boa!
