Science Symposium 2008:
"String Theory and the Multiverse: Philosophical and Theological Implications"

March 26-27, 2008

String theory has been proposed as a means of unifying all fundamental forces in the universe. This theory of everything implies that physical reality is far vaster and possesses greater grandeur than ever imagined, possibly including extra, hidden dimensions. Similarly, the possibility of the multiverse, or collection of universes, has profound implications for philosophy and theology. Specialists in physics and philosophy will address these issues for a general audience at the 2008 Wheaton Science Symposium.
