*Special* HET Seminar: "Bulk Entanglement Gravity"
Sean Carroll (Caltech)
Nature is quantum, but we human beings tend to think in terms of classical variables. I consider the emergence of spacetime and gravitation from a truly quantum-first perspective, in which our best description of the…
HET & HEE Joint Seminar: (TBA)
Michael Ramsey-Musolf (UMass Amherst)
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Wisdom of hives and mounds: collective problem solving by super-organisms"
Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan (Harvard University)
Social insects are capable of solving complex physiological problems using collective strategies. I will discuss our work on some of these problems that include the physiology and morphogenesis of termite…
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Ideas on magma motion within the lithosphere: percolation, channelization, and stress-driven segregation"
Mousumi Roy (University of New Mexico)
Although we know that magma is generated by partial melting of rocks at depth, we have less of an understanding of the processes that transport magma from great depths (>100-150 km) into the shallower (20-0 km)…
Astro Seminar: "Dark Matter Clustering in the Dissipationless Limit"
Michael Joyce (Sorbonne Université, Paris)
An accurate description and understanding of matter clustering in the strongly non-linear regime, even neglecting baryonic physics, remains a problem which is relevant to cosmology and of fundamental interest. My…
HET & HEE Joint Seminar: "Cosmological Bounces and Wormholes from Vorticity"
David Kaplan (John Hopkins University)
High Energy Theory Seminar: (TBA)
Ted Jacobson (U of Maryland)
Workshop on Imaging Biomarkers
Welcome to the Fifth Annual CMROI Workshop on Imaging Biomarkers to be held Thursday, March 22nd, 2018 at the Biomedical Research Building II/III of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania…
