Part of “The Physics of Everything “

SNIP ” Cosmologist Neil Weiner, physicist Vijay Balasubramanian and selected other speakers will explore whether there are limits on our ability to learn about the universe and obtain evidence to verify prevailing theories, where those limits might be and what their significance is for our worldview, and whether humanity, when facing these limits, may once again invoke “God of the gaps”—the notion that divine intervention plays a role in natural phenomena that science is presently unable to explain.”
