[PhilPhys] Online Workshop Shape Dynamics

[Dustin Lazarovici]

Online Workshop
Shape Dynamics - Achievements and Perspectives in Relational Physics

September 30th & October 1st, 2021
Begin: Thursday, 13:45 (CET)

Shape Dynamics is a framework for formulating physical theories relationally, without reference to absolute space and time. Based on philosophical ideas of Leibniz and Mach, it was introduced by Barbour and Bertotti in 1982 and has since given rise to new approaches to classical, general relativistic, and quantum physics.
The workshop will feature many of the leading researchers in this field and present recent results that offer new perspectives on gravity, spacetime singularities, typicality, the arrow of time, and even quantum gravity.

Speakers: Julian Barbour, Sheldon Goldstein, Sean Gryb, Tim Koslowski, Flavio Mercati, David Sloan, Sahand Tokasi, Nino Zanghì.
Organizers: Paula Reichert (LMU), Dustin Lazarovici (UNIL)

The workshop takes place via Zoom.
