The Physics Conference |
The Annual Physics Conferences For ten years the Werner Erhard Foundation produced an annual theoretical physics conference that brought together leading scientists from all over the world to address the critical issues and problems confronting work at the forefront of their fields. The conferences were attended by the leading thinkers in the field. Some of the discussions later evolved into what are now leading edge theories in physics. One of the conferences attended by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Susskind is discussed in this video:
"Erhard told [Robert] Fuller that he wanted to host a new kind of conference, not just run-of-the-mill meetings: the kind of a conference that would ‘actually make some difference to the physics community’.” From: How The Hippies Saved Physics by David Kaiser.... Watch a lecture based on the book Participants in the first est Foundation Physics Conference in 1977 included Richard Feynman, John Wheeler, Sydney Coleman and Leonard Susskind. ... Read about the First Physics Conference in 1977 The 7th physics conference in January 1983 was chaired by Dr. Douglas Scalapino of the Institute for Theoretical Physics UC Santa Barbara on the topic of “Numerical Simulation of Quantum Systems” Over the ten years the Werner Erhard Foundation sponsored the Physics Conferences other participants included Stephen Hawking and Gerard t'Hooft.
