Description

Physicists are pondering on the possibility of simulating black holes in the laboratory by means of various �analog models�. These analog models, typically based on condensed matter physics, can be used to help us understand general relativity (Einstein’s gravity); conversely, abstract techniques developed in general relativity can sometimes be used to help us understand certain aspects of condensed matter physics. This book contains 13 chapters � written by experts in general relativity, particle physics, and condensed matter physics � that explore various aspects of this two-way traffic.Typham this is the title: ARTIFICIAL BLACK HOLES
