Abstract

Physicists from around the world are coming together to celebrate one of the greatest of scientific achievements, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, first presented to the public in November 1915. The 14th Marcel Grossmann Meeting, an international conference showcasing advances in gravitation and cosmology research, takes place in Rome, July 12 to 18, 2015. Among the physicists who will attend this historic conference is the U of R’s Dr. Dinesh Singh, a research assistant with the Department of Physics. “The fact that this conference is this year makes it extra special for me, in that I’m sharing the historical experience of celebrating 100 years of arguably the most remarkable intellectual achievement in the discovery of modern gravitation theory,” says Dr. Singh, who is presenting two papers at the conference.
