A Virtual Tour of Einstein's Universe | National Science Week with Professor Matthew Bailes
No full textJoin us for an extraordinary journey through space and time with astrophysicist Professor Matthew Bailes, as part of National Science Week 2024!
Held on campus at Swinburne University, this engaging public lecture takes you on a Virtual Tour of Einstein’s Universe, exploring the wonders of gravitational waves, black holes, pulsars, and the profound mysteries of the cosmos. Discover how these incredible phenomena are reshaping our understanding of the universe!
Special thanks to Sara Webb, our National Science Week Ambassador, who kicked off the event with a warm introduction, and Alan Duffy, who served as the MC and guided us through the evening's activities.
This video also includes a special slideshow featuring photos from our outreach workshops and behind-the-scenes moments from the event. Thank you to everyone who made this event a huge success!
Watch, learn, and be inspired by the science that’s changing our world!

Exploring Einstein's Universe with Neutron Stars, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves (Free Astronomy Public Lectures)
No full textEinstein dreamt of a Universe in which space and time were curved by matter, and how black holes would represent the ultimate manifestations of his physics, and the possibility of a new type of radiation - gravitational waves. Sadly he died before the discovery of black holes and neutron stars, and so he was unable to witness many of the dramatic experimental confirmations of his theory.
In this lecture the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), Professor Matthew Bailes will use Mixed Reality Technologies to demonstrate how scientists have used telescopes and gravitational wave detectors to explore Einstein's universe, and provide astonishing confirmations of his theories using observations of neutron stars and black holes. Presented 19 October 2021

Swinburne has launched one of the most powerful computers in the country in a bid to help unlock the secrets of the Universe. The new $4 million supercomputer, OzSTAR, is based at Swinburne’s Hawthorn campus and features a performance peak of 1.2 petaflops.
The computer, powered by Dell EMC, launches Swinburne into the petascale era of supercomputing and will enable the Swinburne-based Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery’s (OzGrav) to search for gravitational waves and study the extreme physics of black holes and warped space-time.

Fellow's lecture: The quest to understand Einstein's Gravity
No full textTo celebrate his recent election to the Australian Academy of Science, Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGRav), Professor Matthew Bailes will share with you where it all started.
Having become fascinated with Einstein's theory of relativity through his study of neutron stars, Matthew will describe how this led to the founding of OzGrav and the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne. He will then provide an enlightening introduction on how modern tests of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity are conducted using giant radio telescopes. Using modern augmented reality tools, Matthew will highlight some of the incredible science being performed at Swinburne that sheds light on the nature of space and time
