We can all tell when a movie of some everyday event, such as a kettle boiling or a glass shattering, is run backwards. Similarly, we all feel that we can remember the past and affect the future, not vice versa.
Gr@v contributed to several media coverages of the 2020 Nobel Physics Prize. Expand to know more.
C. Herdeiro was one of the guests of Jornal 2, of RTP2, on October 6th, to talk about the Physics Nobel prize 2020. See the interview here (from 19:52 onwards).
The Scientific background document on the 2020 Nobel Physics Prize mentions the paper by C. Herdeiro and José S. Lemos (from IST Lisbon) on the genesis of the name "black hole" available in the arXiv (in English) and originally pubished in "Gazeta de Física" (in Portuguese).
