FQXi 2009 talks now on their site.
- Thread starter MTd2
- Start date
In summary, the conversation at the FQXi conference focused on serious and profound topics related to theoretical physics. The participants gathered on a volcanic island in the Atlantic, shed their professional attire, and engaged in lively discussions while indulging in cocktails of speculation. Two notable talks highlighted were Daniele Girelli's and Dan Oriti's, both showcasing their expertise and leadership in their respective fields.

they go out to a volcanic island in the Atlantic, everybody takes off their normal professional clothes, and they run around having fun, guzzling cocktails of speculation.
sounds OK to me

That is not really correct. There was really serious and profound stuff there. I thought you would spot some of them. But I will point out two of them:

There are many others, but this is something you have to do :bigrin:

You have a point about Dan Oriti's talk, and maybe also about Florian's.
I will guess that Daniele's Azores talk is the same one that he gives tomorrow in Beijing (7 August, invited plenary session). It is a serious well-prepared presentation of something he has taken the lead in developing.
