Space and Time
1909-2019 |
The Second Hermann Minkowski Meeting on the Foundations of Spacetime Physics will commemorate the 110th anniversary of the publication of Minkowski's lecture "Space and Time" in 1909, which presented the novel ideas of the four-dimensional physics of spacetime. In addition to technical papers on areas related to Minkowski's contributions to the foundations of spacetime physics and on modern ramifications of his ideas, contributions on closely related topics will be also welcome - for example, on the history of the discovery of the spacetime structure of the world (e.g., on Max Born's recollections) and on conceptual issues. |
In addition to talks and poster sessions, special tea / coffee hours will be included in the program to stimulate more informal discussions among the participants. For this reason we encourage interested colleagues to attend the meeting even if they do not plan to give a talk.
Notification of acceptance (of abstracts sent by February 28, 2019) will be given by Friday, March 15, 2019.
Until there are empty slots in the meeting program submissions in the form of extended abstracts from one to two standard pages should be emailed to minkowski2019@minkowskiinstitute.org
Colleagues have suggested to include the following special sessions in the conference program:
- Becoming
- Conformal invariance
- Dark matter and dark energy
- Do gravitational waves carry energy?
- Modified gravity
- Nature of spacetime singularities
- Open questions in spacetime physics
- Relativistic mass
- Spacetime modifications in the near-horizon region: Yey or Nay?
Please let us know at minkowski2019@minkowskiinstitute.org if you are interested in participating in some of these sessions. Or suggest another special session.
Graduate students interested in attending but concerned about cost should submit an abstract and will be contacted before the registration deadline if a registration discount is possible.
A volume with selected peer-reviewed papers will be published.
