A change of the state of matter from one phase to another, such as the transition from liquid water to solid ice.
Go, wond'rous creature!
Mount where Science guides,
Go, measure earth, weigh air,
and state the tides;
Instruct the planets in
what orbs to run,
Correct old Time,
and regulate the Sun.
Alexander Pope's
An Essay on Man
The SXS project is a collaborative research effort involving multiple institutions. Our goal is the simulation of black holes and other extreme spacetimes to gain a better understanding of Relativity, and the physics of exotic objects in the distant cosmos.
The SXS project is supported by Canada Research Chairs, CFI, CIfAR, Compute Canada, Max Planck Society, NASA, NSERC, the NSF, Ontario MEDI, the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, and XSEDE.
