100 years after Einstein's discovery of General Relativity the field provides an abundance of novel research directions. In this colloquium we focus on a specific one, gravitational memory, and related effects in fields and strings.

"Registering events are in general difficult for radio waves, exceedingly difficult for gravity, and deemed impossible for strings. I present elementary and intuitive arguments for how such event memory can be registered in a simple manner by utilizing SQUID for radio waves, Dyson's balloon for gravity and D-branes for string. I then relate such memory effects to so-called Weinberg's low-energy theorems and to novel (asymptotic) symmetry charges." Soo-Jong Rey, Seoul National University & Institute for Basic Science will give a talk about "Memorable Events in fields, gravity and strings".
