Next week I’m going to give a different kind of a seminar at the Santa Fe Institute. Here is the announcement:<\/p>\n
\nDavid Krakauer & Dave Bacon are delighted to host the first Speaker in
\nour: “Possible Paths” seminar Series.
\nIn this series we ask speakers to imagine the state of a scientific
\nfield 1000 years into the future and to trace a possible path towards
\nthat future, enumerating potential prize winning discoveries along the way.
\nWe are positively ecstatic that our first speaker will be none other
\nthan: DR DAVE BACON who will give the Thursday Colloq entitled:
\n“The Reconciliation of Quantum Theory and General Relativity: No Strings
\nAttached”
\nPlease view the attached pdf file which gives a graphical insight into
\nthe ambitious nature of Dr Bacon’s program & some of the fine minds he
\nwill need to transcend along his path.
\nThe first to correctly identify all members of the Baconian Solar System
\nwins Applause & Admiration at the Event.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here is the attached photo (note: I didn’t make this photo, David Krakauer did and he thinks it’s very funny.)

\nBasically the talk will be a crazy conglomeration of different observations I’ve made which lead me to believe the path towards reconciling quantum theory with gravity will look nothing like what we currently invission it to be. I’ll post a copy of the powerpoint once I finish the talk so that everyone can get some good hearty chuckles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
