Testing the No-Hair Theorem and the Area Theorem with LIGO
Event Start:
2021-01-20T11:00:00
Event End:
2021-01-20T12:00:00
Event Information:
One of the key results of general relativity is that an astrophysical black hole in equilibrium is uniquely described by just two parameters, its mass and spin. This is called the No-Hair Theorem, a result that is not true in alternative theories of gravity.
