Frontiers in Foundations of Physics: A Philosophical Inquiry
2023 May 18-19
Sharif University of Technology
Welcome to "Frontiers in Foundations of Physics: A Philosophical Inquiry," a conference dedicated to exploring the philosophical foundations of modern physics, held by the Philosophy of Science group of Sharif University of Technology. This conference brings together the greatest minds in science philosophy and physics to discuss some of the most pressing questions facing the field today.
The world of physics is constantly evolving and expanding, pushing the boundaries of what we know and understand about the nature of the universe. From the mysteries of dark matter and energy, to the nature of time and space, to the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics, modern physics presents a wealth of fascinating and challenging topics for exploration.
At our conference, we will delve deep into the philosophical underpinnings of these hot topics in physics, exploring the fundamental questions that underlie our understanding of the universe. Our invited speakers include some of the most prominent figures in the fields of philosophy and physics, each bringing their unique perspective and expertise to the conversation.
Throughout the conference, we will engage in lively and thought-provoking discussions, exploring the philosophical implications of the latest research and discoveries in physics. We will examine the role of philosophy in shaping our understanding of the universe, and how our philosophical assumptions can influence our scientific theories and models.
Topics for discussion will include the nature of time and space, the implications of quantum mechanics for our understanding of reality, the relationship between physics and metaphysics, and the role of philosophy in shaping scientific inquiry. We will explore the intersections between physics and philosophy, examining how the two disciplines can inform and enrich one another.
We hope that this conference will inspire new insights and perspectives on the frontiers of physics and philosophy. By bringing together the greatest minds in these fields, we aim to push the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding, and to deepen our appreciation of the mysteries of the universe.
We invite you to join us for this exciting and intellectually stimulating event, as we explore the frontiers of foundations of physics and delve into the philosophical inquiry that underpins our understanding of the universe. Together, we will push the boundaries of what we know and engage in a profound exploration of the fundamental questions that define our understanding of reality.
