Interim Funding Granted!

- November 2005: The
lead story in December's Scientific
American,
"An Echo of
Black Holes", by Thoedore Jacobson and Renaud Parentani (pp.
68-75), depends heavily (and explicitly) on work by
tau
co-investigator
William Unruh
(Physics, UBC). His (1981) analogy between propagation of a sound
wave in a moving fluid and that of light in a curved spacetime
forms the basis of the authors' model of spacetime as an atomistic
fluid aether.
