The Gravity and Geometry: Centenary Perspectives on General Relativity conference is part of Einstein@Rotman 2015 – a year-long program of activities for both scholars and the general public, centred around the stunning successes and enduring significance of Einstein’s ideas.
Join the Rotman Institute of Philosophy this October for a lecture series in celebration of the 100th anniversary of general relativity. Lectures will be held each Wednesday, at 7:00 pm, at the Central Library. This week’s talk, by Chris Smeenk, is entitled Einstein’s Path to a New Theory. Other speakers include Stathis Psillos, Doreen Fraser, and Wayne Myrvold.
