Open questions in spacetime physics and the philosophy of spacetime
Physicists, philosophers of physics, and philosophers are invited to submit what they regard as open or fundamental questions in the area of spacetime physics and the philosophy of spacetime. Short papers providing justification for the submitted open questions are especially welcome. All accepted papers will be posted on this website. Any reactions to these papers are also welcome.
At the 2008 conference we will discuss what has been done to address the identified open questions.
