The Loops05 conference is set to be videotaped, allowing access to all talks later, eliminating the need to wait for content. Participants express interest in discussing JB's lecture notes, highlighting their provocative nature. Lee Smolin's recent talk emphasized significant advances in quantum gravity, including the emergence of classical spacetime from background-independent theories. He discussed the importance of relationality in modern physics and the need for innovative thinking in approaching quantum gravity. Overall, the conference is generating excitement and anticipation for the insights shared by leading researchers in the field.

We can expect videos of these and other talks to be available at the Loops website. I heard indirectly that the conference organizers plan to have videos up at the site by beginning of next week.

sounds like a lot of work for the staff at AEI. hope it's not too much of a burden. I guess the thing to do is just check at the above links every so often to see if video files have appeared.
