Time: Thursday 14 March 2024, 2:30pm

Achim Kempf (University of Waterloo & Perimeter Institute)

Title: Correlations, Representations and the Emergence of Spacetime Abstract: There are reasons to expect that spacetime might change dimension at sufficiently high energies or at least that, at energies as high as the Planck scale, spacetime might emerge from an essentially non-geometric structure. The… Read More
