The Nobel prizes in physics for astrophysics and gravitation and the Nobel prize for black holes: Past, present, and future
José P. S. Lemos
We analyze the Nobel prizes in physics for astrophysics and gravitation since the establishment of the prize and highlight the 2020 Nobel prize for black holes. In addition, we com…
Einstein and Eddington and the eclipse in Principe: Celebration and science 100 years after
José P. S. Lemos, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Vitor Cardoso
On May 29, 1919, at Roça Sundy, Principe island, Eddington confirms Einstein's general relativity theory for the first time by photographing stars behind the obscured Sun during a…
Shadow of the Moon and general relativity: Einstein, Dyson, Eddington and the 1919 light deflection
José P. S. Lemos
The eclipse of the Sun of 1919 was fundamental in the development of physics and earns a high place in the history of science. Several players took part in this adventure. The most…
Einstein and Eddington and the consequences of general relativity: Black holes and gravitational waves
José P. S. Lemos, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Vitor Cardoso
For the celebrations of the 100 years of the observations undertaken by Eddington at the island of Principe and collaborators at Sobral during a total solar eclipse in May 29, 1919…
The black hole fifty years after: Genesis of the name
Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, José P. S. Lemos
Black holes are extreme spacetime deformations where even light is imprisoned. There is an extensive astrophysical evidence for the real and abundant existence of these prisons of…
Unitary theories in the work of Mira Fernandes (beyond general relativity and differential geometry)
José P. S. Lemos
An analysis of the work of Mira Fernandes on unitary theories is presented. First it is briefly mentioned the Portuguese scientific context of the 1920s. A short analysis of the ex…
