SCHOOL OF SCIENCE / IAS JOINT LECTURE
Emergence: Gravity as Thermo- and Hydro-dynamics
Prof Bei-Lok Hu, University of Maryland, Senior Visiting Fellow of HKUST Institute for Advanced Study
Date : 20 Feb 2012 (Monday)
Time : 3:30 - 4:30pm
Venue : Mr and Mrs Lee Siu Lun Lecture Theater (LT-K), HKUST
Summary Details

IAS Senior Visiting Fellow Prof Bei-Lok Hu defines the tasks of quantum versus emergent gravity, explores different senses of emergence, and suggests how nonequilibrium ideas and methodology are suited for exploring emergent phenomena and the consequences of viewing spacetime as a condensate. A way of exploring the theme of gravity as thermodynamics is also presented using nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come first-served basis.
