DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Black holes are described mathematically as solution
 s of Einstein's equations of general relativity. Among the many strange pr
 operties of black holes\, I will explore the phenomenon of a "black hole b
 omb"\, an instability which can arise when a black hole is perturbed by a 
 scalar field. The ultimate fate of the black hole bomb is an open question
 \, and I will discuss why this might be important\, not only theoretically
 \, but also for black holes in the universe.
