Title: Wormholes

Abstract: In the past few years, wormholes have gone from science fiction to science. I will review some recent constructions of traversable wormholes, and discuss my current understanding of what types of wormholes are physical. In other words, I will propose criteria for which wormholes are science, and which are science fiction.

Speaker: Professor Ben Freivogel, Faculty of Science, Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Date and Time: 19th October 2020, 2.00 PM to 4.30 PM PM Berlin time (5:30 PM to 8:00 PM Indian time)
