SPEAKER - Hyung Mok Lee

Professor Hyung Mok Lee

Professor Hyung Mok Lee is a leading Korean astrophysicist and science communicator. He correctly predicted that the first detection of gravitational waves would be from merging pairs of black holes. His talk will tell the story of the formation of black holes, how they came to be merging, and how their ripples spread across the cosmos for one billion years before they reached the solar system in September 2015.
