Seventh spacetime conference - extended registration deadline
by Vesselin Petkov Aug. 5, 2024

Aug. 5, 2024

[Apologies for eventual cross-posting] Dear Colleagues, The seventh spacetime conference will commemorate the 115th anniversary of the publication (in 1909) of Minkowski's 1908 world-view-changing lecture "Space and Time," which presented the novel ideas of the spacetime structure of the world and the four-dimensional physics of spacetime. It is organized by Minkowski Institute (Montreal) and will be held in the famous Black Sea resort "Albena" (near Varna, Bulgaria) from 16 to 19 September 2024: https://minkowskiinstitute.com/conferences/2024/ To have a better idea of where the conference will be held, you can have a look at pictures taken during the third Minkowski Meeting last September (also held in Albena): https://minkowskiinstitute.com/meetings/2023/pictures.html The Scientific Organizing Committee invites papers from physicists, philosophers of physics and philosophers on any topic related to the nature and ontology of spacetime. There will be a Panel Discussion on Open Questions in Spacetime Physics (including on time flow) and hopefully a special session "Minkowski's actual and intended contributions to spacetime physics" to mark the 160th anniversary of the birth of Hermann Minkowski (1864-2024). Extended abstracts of between one and two pages should be emailed to 2024conference(a)minkowskiinstitute.com. Scientific Organizing Committee: Valia Allori (University of Bergamo) James Binkoski (Dartmouth College) Carolyn Brighouse (Occidental College, Los Angeles) Karen Crowther (University of Oslo) Erik Curiel (University of Bonn) Nina Emery (Mount Holyoke College and UMass Amherst) Robert Geroch (University of Chicago) John B. Manchak (University of California, Irvine) Vesselin Petkov (Minkowski Institute, Montreal) James Read (University of Oxford) Carlo Rovelli (Centre de Physique Théorique de Luminy, Marseille, France) Anguel Stefanov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee, Vesselin Petkov One of the Founders and current Director of Minkowski Institute Montreal, Canada https://minkowskiinstitute.com vpetkov(a)minkowskiinstitute.com Personal page: http://vesselinpetkov.com/
