\nQuantum Foundations and the Problems of Time
\n19th January 2016
\nInstitute for Advanced Studies\, Royal Fort House\, University of Bristol \;
\n**************************
\nTime 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.
\nSpeakers: Julian Barbour (Oxford)\, Eliahu Cohen (Bristol)\, Peter Evans (Queensland)\, Sean Gryb (Radboud)\, Huw Price (Cambridge)\, Karim Thé\;bault (Bristol).
\nOrganizers: James Ladyman (Bristol)\, Karim Thé\;bault (Bristol)\, \;
