Meet up at Physics in the Library for a lecture by Carlo Rovelli: The Journey to Quantum Gravity.
Carlo Rovelli, Director of the Quantum Gravity research group of the Centre de physique théorique in Marseille, France, will give a lecture at the Science Library, Blindern, Friday the 20th of October from 2:15 PM - 3:00 PM.
The ongoing search for the quantum theory of gravity, namely the quantum theory of space and time, is among the most fascinating open problems in theoretical physics. It requires us to change our understanding of space and time. Carlo Rovelli present the state of the art of this search and discuss the conceptual implications of the ideas studied.
Akademika will be selling Rovelli's books in the foyer, and there may well be a chance to have them signed by the author. Among other books are his international bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics.
Physics in the Library is a monthly, popular scientific lecture including sausages, physics and potato salad.
