QLS-HECAP Joint seminar by Christian Maes on 7 September 2022 at 14:00 CET

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

Dear All,


Tomorrow, Wednesday, 7 September   at 14:00 CET, in the Euler lecture 
hall, Leonardo building,

  Christian Maes (KU Leuven) will give a seminar titled:

*Statistical mechanical perspectives on some cosmological problems *


Abstract:

We review some well-known paradoxes in cosmology and give them a 
statistical mechanics reading.  Puzzles to be touched include the 
horizon and the flatness problem, the information paradox, the dark 
energy problem and the possible origin of the so-called space roar.
Each time, we emphasize the role of statistical arguments to complement 
the dynamical understanding.  Exciting directions for nonequilibrium 
(statistical) cosmology are briefly added, especially concerning 
geometric dissipation.
