KIT organized activities on October 30, 2017. The Scientist in Charge of the KIT node of Elusives, Thomas Schwetz-Mangold, gave a talk titled "Dunkle Materie – von Urknall, Galaxien und Elementarteilchen".
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, formalized in the early part of the 20th century, contained a number of important and well-defined observational consequences that allowed for this radical theory to be tested against the conventional Newtonian understanding of gravity. Among these tests were: modifications to orbital dynamics (e.g.
The event was co-organized by the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, CSIC-UV), Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, and the European Union through various research grants (FUNDAMENTALCONNECTIONS, InvisiblesPlus RISE and Elusives ITN)
The Bonn Physics Show, developed by Prof. Herbert Dreiner, is a show about particular physics. The show is aimed at non-physicists between 14 and 99 years of age. Its objective is to explain some basic concepts of particular physics, including the discovery of the Higgs boson, in an entertaining way. The program includes 28 experiments demonstrated life, as described here.
