billion years, they grow together by factors of a million or more in mass. This growth generates energy that affects galaxy evolution, including that of the Milky Way galaxy in which we live. In this talk, I give several alternative descriptions of a black hole, explain how recent multi-wavelength surveys of the sky have provided a census of black hole growth, and show computer simulations that illustrate galaxy mergers and the evolution of the universe across cosmic time \u2013 all of which explains how the present-day universe came to be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-162f2d4\" data-id=\"162f2d4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce3647e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ce3647e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry-pic.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33477\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry-pic.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry-pic-300x284.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7e4d2ef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7e4d2ef\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a6ed87a\" data-id=\"a6ed87a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70e322c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70e322c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"457\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33478\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/Meg-Urry-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-717880a\" data-id=\"717880a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc27915 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc27915\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Biography<\/h4><p>Meg Urry is the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Yale University, Director of the Yale Center for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics, former Chair of the Yale Physics Department, and former President of the American Astronomical Society. She got her Ph.D. in Physics from the Johns Hopkins University and her B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Tufts University. Her scientific research on active galaxies appears in over 375 refereed research papers, including one of the most highly cited review papers in astronomy. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and National Academy of Sciences, and received the High Energy Astrophysics Division Distinguished Career Award, Annie Jump Cannon, and George van Biesbroeck prizes from the American Astronomical Society, the 2015 Edward A. Bouchet Leadership Award from Yale University, and the 2010 Women in Space Science Award from the Adler Planetarium. She is the founding Physics instructor for the Global Teaching Project, which provides advanced courses to promising high school students in under-served areas, beginning with a pilot program in rural Mississippi. She also writes about science for CNN.com.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COLLOQUIUM 2023 Black Holes, Galaxies, and the Evolution of the Universe Speaker Prof Meg Urry, Yale University Date\/Time Wednesday, 18&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-33472","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33472"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33472"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33472\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33502,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33472\/revisions\/33502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
