 mer-SoSe2024.pdf).</p>  <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Pulsars\, the natur
 al beacons of the universe\, put physics to extreme test. As neutron stars
 \, they are not only the densest objects in the observable universe\, but 
 they also serve as high-precision laboratories for testing the general the
 ory of relativity. Pulsars not only allow the observation of predicted eff
 ects that cannot be observed by other methods\, but they provide also extr
 emely precise tests of the properties of gravitational waves. The latest r
 esults even use pulsars as galactic gravitational wave detectors\, which d
 etect a continuous \"hum\" of space-time. This buzz is\, most likely\, cau
 sed by the merging of supermassive black holes in the early universe. The 
 talk gives an overview of the fascination of Einstein's universe and how i
 t can be explored with the help of pulsars.</p>  <p><strong>Short bio</str
 ong>: Michael Kramer graduated Physics in Cologne and Bonn\, and obtained
  a PhD at the University of Bonn in 1995. He was a staff astronomer at MPI
 fR (1996-1998)\, a Max-Planck Otto-Hahn fellow at the University of Califo
 rnia at Berkeley (1998-1999)\, Lecturer (1999-2003)\, Senior Lecturer (200
 3- 2005)\, Reader (2005-2006) and since 2006 Professor at the University o
 f Manchester. From 2007 to 2009 he was Associate Director of Jodrell Bank 
 Observatory before being appointed as Director at the MPIfR in Bonn in 200
 9. He won a number of awards\, was a member of the ERC Scientific Council\
 , President of the German Astronomical Society\, and is a founding member 
 of the DZA.</p>
