By combining our two major theories, that of the very large, General Relativity, and that of the very small, Quantum Physics (in particular nuclear and particle physics), it has been possible to construct a relatively accurate description of the life Read More …
🚀 Luigi Piro is the coordinator of #AHEAD2020 and director of research at INAF/IAPS. His main science topics are Gamma-Ray Bursts, Gravitational waves (GW) and multi-messenger counterparts of black holes (BHs) and netwron-star (NS) mergers, active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and Read More …
The discourse on the cosmos, emerging from humans’ interest in the sky and the constellations, was further developed through the ancient Greek philosophies of Nature. During the Renaissance, the geometric and dynamic astronomy of Galileo and Newton was established, wherein Read More …
