Conference Topics
The scientific program will include invited and contributed papers concerned with the ontology of spacetime. The topics to be covered will include, but not be limited to:
- The 3D/4D debate: Does it reflect a real problem? If so, do the theory of relativity and the experimental evidence supporting it provide a definite answer to the question "What is the dimensionality of the world?
- Are becoming, flow of time, and change intrinsically related to the dimensionality of the world?
- Are objective becoming, flow of time, and change compatible with relativity?
- Experience of time and the empirical evidence from psychology.
- Change in classical and quantum cosmology.
- Disappearance of time in quantum cosmology.
- Conventionality of simultaneity and the issue of dimensionality.
- Spacetime versus neo-Lorentzian interpretation of relativity.
