The Meaning of Spacetime: Black Holes, wormholes and quantum entanglement

What is spacetime, exactly? And how does it impact our understanding of important phenomena in our universe?

Juan Maldacena studies black holes, string theory, and quantum field theory. In his July 27 Perimeter Public Lecture webcast, he will describe some ideas that arose from the study of quantum aspects of black holes. They involve an interesting connection between the basic description of quantum mechanics and the geometry of spacetime. He will also delve into how wormholes are related to quantum entanglement.
