 Join the Wheaton College Science Division as they host the 2008 Wheaton Science Symposium, “String Theory and the Multiverse: Philosophical and Theological Implications” March 26-27.
String theory has been proposed as a means of unifying all fundamental forces in the universe. This theory of everything implies a far vaster physical reality—possibly including extra, hidden dimensions. Similarly, the possibility of the multiverse has profound implications for philosophy and theology. Specialists in physics and philosophy will address these issues at this free symposium open to the public.
Guest speakers offering lectures and conducting discussions include:
- Dr. Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor University and head of the early universe cosmology and string theory division of Baylor’s Astrophysics Center
- Dr. Don Nelson Page, professor of physics at University of Alberta
- Dr. Robert Mann, professor of physics and applied mathematics and the chair of the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Waterloo
- Dr. Robin Collins, professor of philosophy of Messiah College.
All sessions are in Armerding Hall (campus map), located at 520 East Kenilworth Avenue in Wheaton. This event is free and open to the public. More information about the speakers, schedule and registration can be found in the brochure. If you have any questions, contact the Physics department at 630.752.5007, physics@wheaton.edu, or www.wheaton.edu/physics.
The views expressed by speakers who are guests of the College are not necessarily views of Wheaton College. Wheaton College (Wheaton, Ill.) is a coeducational Christian liberal arts college noted for its rigorous academics, integration of faith and learning, and consistent ranking among the top liberal arts colleges in the country.
