SUMMARY:The Secrets of Gravity: The Peter Lindsay Memorial Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Gravity is the overarching miracle connecting everyth
 ing we know and the reason the Universe itself can even exist and evolve. 
 It elevates space and time from mere pieces of scenery into central actors
  in the unfolding drama of reality. It has been tested with impeccable agr
 eement in the most challenging environments from the edges of black holes 
 to the weakest strain of gravitational waves. Yet\, at the core of all its
  successes\, its most profound feature yet is that it predicts its own fal
 l.\n\nJoin this journey as we push the limits of knowledge and navigate th
 rough the foundations of space and time\, underpinning the origin and fate
  of our Universe and that of everything in it.\n\nBio: Claudia de Rham has
  held professor positions across the world and is now a Professor in the A
 bdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics at Imperial. Her research challe
 nges our understanding of the laws of nature and that of gravity in pursui
 t of a more fundamental description of our Universe and the laws that gove
 rn it. Her work has provided new perspectives to understand the origin of
  the Universe\, its accelerated expansion\, and the fundamental nature of
  gravity.\n\nAn elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Science
 s\, she is ranked among the most impactful researchers in fundamental phys
 ics of the past decade and her contributions to science have been recognis
 ed by numerous grants and awards\, including the Royal Society Wolfson Mer
 it Award\, the Adams Prize for contributions to Mathematics and the Blavat
 nik Award. She’s the author of an Encyclopaedia of Cosmology with Imperi
 al Professor Andrew J. Tolley and her first popular science bookThe Beauty
  of Falling – A Life in Pursuit of Gravity is being translated in over 
 10 languages so far.\n
