DESCRIPTION:<p>**************************</p>\n<p>Quantum Foundations and the Problems of Time</p>\n<p>19th January 2016</p>\n<p>Institute for Advanced Studies\, Royal Fort House\, University of Bristol&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>**************************</p>\n<p>Time is a concept of central concern to both physicists and philosophers. It is thus\, unsurprisingly\, a topic of particular interest to the community of `foundations of physics&rsquo\; researchers\, working in the borderlands between the two disciplines. Two prominent questions relating to time in the foundations of modern physics are: i) the status of the `causal arrow of time&rsquo\; in quantum theory\; and ii) the supposed `disappearance of time&rsquo\; in theories of quantum gravity. This workshop will bring together researches working at the cutting edge of each of these two `problems of time&rsquo\;\, with a view towards the cross-pollination of ideas and the forging of interdisciplinary links.</p>\n<p>Speakers: Julian Barbour (Oxford)\, Eliahu Cohen (Bristol)\, Peter Evans (Queensland)\, Sean Gryb (Radboud)\, Huw Price (Cambridge)\, Karim Th&eacute\;bault (Bristol).</p>\n<p>Organizers: James Ladyman (Bristol)\, Karim Th&eacute\;bault (Bristol)\,&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Please email: karim.thebault@gmail.com to register for participation.</p>\n<p>**************************</p>\n<p>SCHDULE</p>\n<p>10:00 - 11:00 Pete Evans (Queensland).
