Recent (and forthcoming) empirical evidence helps us focus quantum gravity research.
Loop quantum gravity is a concrete possibility for a theoretical description of quantum spacetime.
I discuss its ideas, results and open issues and the perspectives to connect it to observation.
In The Messenger Lectures,1964 at MIT, Feymnan said , “ There might have been a time when only one man knew the theory of relativity, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot of people understood the theory of relativity in some way or other. On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics....
In many professional areas, a career pathway can be pictured as a pipeline. In science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), this pipeline is leaking. Minority groups and women are less represented at every higher level of academia. Unfortunately, the FNWI is no exception to this, but the situation is improving!
Together with our knowledgeable panel, we will address the topic...
Despite many students and academics experiencing issues related to mental health at some point during their career, few people dare to open up about their struggles. As a consequence of this stigma, some people hesitate to actively seek the help they might need - even though the FNWI offers an extensive support system.
Together with our panel, we will try to lead an open and honest...
The climate emergency is, without a doubt, THE challenge of our generation. The only way to overcome this issue is through a revolution: a shift in the collective mindset. For this revolution to happen, we need to exchange new ideas and excite young minds to stand up to the challenge.
This is exactly the aim of our panel discussion on “The future of energy”, where we will discuss the current...
