Jim Gates live webcast on supersymmetry June 4th

In summary, Dr. S. James Gates Jr. from the University of Maryland will be giving a presentation on the concept of supersymmetry and its links to theoretical physics. The presentation will also touch on the surprising connection between supersymmetry and the music of Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg. The talk will be held on June 4 at 7:00 PM ET at Waterloo Collegiate Institute or can be watched through a live webcast. Viewers can also interact with Perimeter physicists during the lecture through live chat and Twitter using the hashtag #piLIVE. A playback of the webcast will also be available for those who missed the live event.

I hope to be able to watch. Should be very interesting! The link below should host the webcast at some point.

FROM THE MATHEMATICS OF SUPERSYMMETRY TO THE MUSIC OF ARNOLD SCHOENBERG

DR. S. JAMES GATES JR., UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2014 AT 7:00PM

WATERLOO COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE - 300 HAZEL ST. WATERLOO

AUDIENCE TICKETS AND LIVE WEBSTREAM AVAILABLE

The concept of supersymmetry, though never observed in nature, has driven a great deal of research in theoretical physics over the past several decades. Much has been learned through this research, but many unresolved questions remain. This presentation will describe how these questions can lead one down a surprising path: toward the dodecaphony of Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg.

There are two ways to watch this Public Lecture live on June 4 at 7:00 PM ET. If you’re in Waterloo, Ontario, you can get tickets to be part of the audience. Or you can watch a live webcast of the event (get an email reminder to tune in). During the lecture, tweet @Perimeter and use the hashtag #piLIVE to keep the conversation going, and to pose questions for Dr. Gates to answer at the end of the talk. Perimeter Institute will also host a live chat during which viewers can interact with Perimeter physicists.

Supersymmetry is purely mathematical, of no relevance to real life, just like the music of Schoenberg? :tongue:
