DESCRIPTION:Black holes are one of the most fascinating objects in Nature\
 , so much so that they often feature in science fiction movies! But\, why 
 is that we find them so interesting? In this talk I will explain what is o
 ur\ncurrent understanding of black holes in General Relativity\, Einstein'
 s theory of gravity. As we shall see\, black holes are extremely simple ob
 jects and yet they encode some of the greatest mysteries of gravity.\nThei
 r "blackness" makes them very hard to see\, but as I will explain\, in the
  near future we may be able to "hear" them. It turns out that the interest
  in black holes goes beyond their traditional playground in\nastrophysics.
  According to recent developments\, black holes encode properties of theor
 ies of particles\, fluids (and turbulence) and superconductors!
