Colloquium
- Title Inquiring through black holes

Abstract
Black holes have become unique tools in the understanding of a plethora of phenomena in vastly different fronts. From understanding spectacularly energetic events in our universe, gaining insights on potential new particles to unraveling seemingly unrelated phenomena through a firm grasp of their dynamics is key. In this talk, we will connect with several of these fronts, and discuss opportunities from-and-to black holes.
