From Quantum Mechanics to Spacetime

by Sean Carroll (Caltech)

Tuesday 26 Jan 2021, 16:45 → 18:45 Europe/Berlin

ZOOM Video talk (DESY, Hamburg)

Nine decades in, the foundations of quantum mechanics remain mysterious. Meanwhile, modern physicists puzzle over how to reconcile quantum mechanics with gravity. I will suggest that these problems are related, and that a promising strategy suggests itself: rather than "quantizing gravity," we should look for gravity within quantum mechanics. This approach has interesting consequences for how we think about the nature of space and time.
