The Philosophy of Physics Group
<https://icfo.ans.pw.edu.pl/en/?page_id=3168> at the International Center
for Formal Ontology (Warsaw University of Technology) is happy to announce
the Warsaw Spacetime Colloquium 2020-2021.

The Colloquium focuses on the foundations of spacetime physics broadly
construed, and will be held fortnightly on Zoom (16:00-18:00 CET).

The program for the winter semester is the following:

2 October - Carlo Rovelli (Aix-Marseille University) - "Why can we decide
what we shall do tomorrow, but we cannot decide what we did yesterday? Time
reversibility and the physics of an agent"

16 October - J. Brian Pitts (University of Cambridge) - "Change in
observables in Hamiltonian general relativity"

30 October - James Read (University of Oxford) - "Shifts and reference"

13 November - Karen Crowther (University of Oslo) and Sebastian De Haro
(University of Amsterdam) - "The role of singularities in the search for
quantum gravity"

27 November - Claus Kiefer (University of Cologne) - "Time in quantum
gravity"

11 December - Radin Dardashti (University of Wuppertal) - "The rise and
fall of scientific problems"

8 January - Karim Thébault (University of Bristol) - "On the structure of
time in physical theory"

22 January - Vera Matarese (University of Bern) - "Spacetime the many
substances"
