Laws for Nowhere
Abstract: The standard concept of law is, I suggest, significantly spatiotemporal, posing the question of how there can be laws in non-spatiotemporal theories, and most pointedly how laws could hold in non-spatiotemporal regions of spacetime. I describe a couple of quantum gravity models of the Big Bang (in string theory and group field theory), in a provisional attempt to demonstrate how such questions might arise.
Part of our ongoing Cosmology Beyond Spacetime online seminar series. See the full list of talks here.
Talks in this series will be held in Zoom webinar format and pre-registration is required.
