What are the building blocks of our universe that everything is made of? In this video, ASTRID EICHHORN explains how her work seeks to reveal the fundamental microscopic structure of space-time. * While recent pioneering experiments have confirmed aspects of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, this work seeks to overcome the limitations of current observational technology through theoretical investigations of the relationships between quantum space-time, quantum gravity and matter. With undoubted implications for our understanding of Dark Matter and the Standard Model of particle physics, the real-world applications of this kind of foundational research can have profound effects on all of our lives. * Bio: Astrid Eichhorn was appointed associate professor at CP3-Origins at the University of Southern Denmark in 2019. Since 2016, she built up a research group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University as part of the DFG’s (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) Emmy Noether Programme.
