Hello Everyone,
Young-Scientist.in is happy to offer ASPHY 2304, Introduction to Black Holes - a structured course (6 sessions, 12 hrs). This is a core requirement to complete the Astrophysics Diploma - Level II. Please visit the following page to learn more about the diploma program:
http://young-scientist.in/YS_ASPHY.htmlSimilar diploma programs on other fields of study will soon be offered under the upcoming YS Virtual Academy. More information will be released when available.
http://young-scientist.in/YSVAcademy.html Course Introduction:
Black Holes are cosmic behemoths that are at the boundary of human understanding of how nature works. They’re mostly formed when a massive star depletes its nuclear fuel and undergoes supernova, a massive explosion that leaves ane extremely dense object from which even light cannot escape. Through Einstein’s theories of relativity and work by physicists like Stephen Hawking, we understand Black Holes to an extent but this is a very active field of study in astrophysics. They are also a staple in science fiction and fuel the imaginations of children and adults alike.
This course will require the student to spend 4 hours a week for participating in the session and 4 hours additionally for background reading and completing assignments. This is different from our usual mode of teaching and we expect the students to be responsible and highly motivated. There will be a continuous assessment and a personalised report card will be generated highlighting the strengths and weakness of each student.
Please consider carefully and discuss with the student before applying for the course.
