Abu Dhabi, UAE: The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Institute launches its 2023 in-person public program with a series of inspiring talks, workshops and conferences throughout the month of January.

The lineup kicks off with a talk titled Uncovering the Underlying Structure of the Universe in conjunction with Abu Dhabi Meeting on Theoretical Physics, a conference co-hosted by The Institute and the UAE Space Agency. Academics from key institutions will discuss how physicists have reached our current understanding of the universe, all the way from the idea that everything is composed of tiny vibrating strings, to how black holes defy space and time to preserve information, and to the profound reasons for why the universe around us is incredibly huge.

The second talk for the month of January, titled Black Hole Survival Guide, is organized in collaboration with NYU Abu Dhabi’s Center for Astro, Particle and Planetary Physics. Astrophysicist and author Janna Levin will discuss her latest book, Black Hole Survival Guide, a wholly accessible, fascinating guide to black holes. Levin will explain the ways in which black holes, the most intriguing inhabitants of the universe, have changed our most basic understanding of the galaxy, the universe, the whole expanse of reality that
