OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
