On Friday, 6 May, Vincent Lam (University of Bern & Grenoble Alpes
University) and Daniele Oriti (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) will
give a talk titled "The Laws of Quantum Gravity" (abstract below).

The meeting will be online on Zoom (17:00-19:00 CEST). If you have not

ABSTRACT
Several approaches in quantum gravity suggest radical revisions of the
standard notion of spacetime, and even its disappearance from the
fundamental level of description. We discuss traditional conceptions of
laws of nature in the light of these new suggestions about spacetime, and
why they become untenable, and we indicate some possible ways to
characterize the laws of nature in this quantum gravity context.
