OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Apparent paradoxes in the physical descriptions of the natural world around us and in the perceived cosmos have existed since antiquity. These have grown in sophistication as the field of physics has developed over thele centuries and with the advent of the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics in particular. This conference will examine several paradoxes in physics from across the centuries and will scrutinise how the fundamental physics and mathematics underpinning them may help to resolve these.
Whilst attendance is free, booking is required for both in-person and online attendance. Please see website for details: www.stx.ox.ac.uk/event/happ-one-day-conference-paradoxes-in-physics
There will be a special conference dinner at St Cross College, in the evening following the end of the conference, with an after-dinner talk by Professor Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS, Nobel Laureate (University of Oxford) on the visual and mathematical paradoxes in the art of M C Escher.
