A Relatividade Numérica num minuto, por Hirotada Okawa

My name is Hirotada Okawa and i’m a researcher of physics in Instituto Superior Técnico. I’m studying high energy physics and astrophysics with numerical relativity. Today I would like to talk about numerical relativity. Even if our universe can be described by general relativity, it's too difficult to understand what is really happening in our universe because the equations are very complicated. But numerical relativity enables us to reproduce interesting phenomena such as the end of stars and the collision of stars including black holes. We can see such an exciting object far from our galaxy even on our personal computers. Of course, in safety… Numerical relativity became a useful tool to investigate gravity. Thank you very much.
