In the forth of the “Vacuum” workshops we aim to discuss the current knowledge on the physics of black holes.
The aim of the “Vacuum” workshops is to bring together scientists from different scientific backgrounds to discuss and exchange ideas about fundamental questions related to what the Universe's vacuum is, what are its gravitational and particle physics properties and how do they interlock, if they do.
The workshop is by invitation only. There will be only few invited speakers covering different ideas or experiments related to the topic of this workshop. These talks are aimed to catalyse discussions, for this reason there will be plenty of time between them. In addition, there will be many free white board talks slots. These talks are for the participants of the workshop to be able to propose and/or discuss novel ideas not covered by the invited talks. These additional talks are considered as integral parts of the scientific discussions and so they should be as informal as possible.
Invited Speakers
Raphael Bousso (Berkeley University)
Ramy Brustein (Ben Gurion University)
Oscar Dias (Southampton University)
Stefano Giusto (University of Padova)
Alessia Platania (Heidelberg University)
