On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the progression of physics, most facts and laws have been established only after decades, often centuries, of discussion and dispute. This conference will review some of the great disputes stretching from antiquity to the modern day. From the classical Greek discussions on the nature of space and matter, through the founding disputes of modern science and its mathematics (led by Newton’s disputes with contemporaries) up to the recent controversies in quantum mechanics and cosmology, the feuds between leading thinkers and their vital role in establishing successive views of our physical world will be examined.
Registration to attend this conference is free but booking is required.
