I just found out about the lectures, are there any interesting or profound ones.

Seriously, do you think anyone is going to do that?
Well, in that sense, no surprises AFAIK. Not the n-th supersting revolution coming; in the age of the revolutions the reaction was almost immediate after a lecture.ftr said:No, but I just thought those who know some string might pick up on one theme that they are familiar with which has a promising material.
Yep, is about pooling a reservoir of intelligence that has remained almost untapped.haushofer said:I've learned there should be more women in science.
If there should be more woman in science, then there should be less woman in something else. Did you also learned what that something else is?haushofer said:I've learned there should be more women in science.
Not from the talk, as that is general politics and they tried to avoid it. In general politics, I would start looking niches where more than 75% workers are woman and adding men there. Even the "untapped reservoir" argument was only insinuated, but it is a sort of answer: you get them from someplace where their IQ is not been fully used.Demystifier said:If there should be more woman in science, then there should be less woman in something else.

Why would you add more men there? Why do you think that an optimal distribution of men and women is a uniform one?arivero said:I would start looking niches where more than 75% workers are woman and adding men there.
Demystifier said:Why would you add more men there? Why do you think that an optimal distribution of men and women is a uniform one?
Furthermore, is sex the only characteristic that should be uniform? For instance, suppose that someone told you that people with blood group A more often choose physics than people with blood group B. Would you then argue that there should be more blood group B people in physics?
Why? Which symmetry gives conservation of women? :PDemystifier said:If there should be more woman in science, then there should be less woman in something else. Did you also learned what that something else is?

A string conference is a meeting of scientists, researchers, and experts in the field of string theory. Its purpose is to discuss and present the latest findings and advancements in string theory, as well as to foster collaboration and exchange ideas among the scientific community.
String conferences typically take place once or twice a year, depending on the demand and availability of funding. Some larger conferences, such as the Strings conference, may take place every two years.
It is difficult to determine if a conference has directly led to any breakthroughs or discoveries. However, string conferences often serve as a platform for scientists to share their findings and collaborate on new research, which can lead to advancements in the field.
String conferences play a crucial role in the development and progress of string theory. They provide a space for experts to share their knowledge and ideas, and for new researchers to learn about the current state of the field. This exchange of information and perspectives helps to advance our understanding of string theory.
One of the main challenges of string conferences is the complexity and abstract nature of string theory, which can make it difficult for non-experts to fully understand the discussions and presentations. There is also a constant need for funding and resources to support these conferences, as well as the challenge of organizing and coordinating international participation. Lastly, there may be disagreements and debates among scientists, which can make it challenging to reach a consensus on certain topics.
