SUMMARY:Stanley Flatté Memorial Lecture: Chaos\, black holes\, and quantum mechanics
DESCRIPTION:CHAOS\, BLACK HOLES\, AND QUANTUM MECHANICS \nThe world is a chaotic place. Even if we know the rules of nature\, we often find it difficult to predict the future – forecasting the weather is a notorious example. Recently\, we have understood that chaos plays a central role in the behavior of black holes\, some of the most striking objects in our universe. We will describe these developments and indicate some new insights they have led to in our quest to unify quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity. \nAbout the speaker: Stephen Shenker has been on the faculty of the University of Chicago and Rutgers University\, and is currently the Richard Herschel Weiland Professor at Stanford University. He is a theoretical physicist who has worked on problems ranging from the theory of phase transitions to the nonperturbative formulation of quantum gravity. He is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship\, the Onsager Prize and the Dirac Medal\, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. From 1998 to 2009\, he was the Director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics. \nFriday\, May 29\, 2026 \nThe 418 Project\, 155 River St S\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 \n6:00 PM – 7:00 PM\, Refreshments provided prior to talk at 5 PM. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
