If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.
Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered. If you have your own novel physics theory or model, which you would like to post for further discussion among then FQXi community, then please add them directly to the "Alternative Models of Reality" thread, or to the "Alternative Models of Cosmology" thread. Thank you.

Dear Colleagues,
We are very happy to announce the XV Tonale Winter School on Cosmology.
The school is addressed to advanced master students/ PhD students/ early postdocs in Cosmology and will cover both theoretical and observational aspects of modern cosmology, with a lecture series delivered by four scientists in the field.
We would very much appreciate it if you could forward the announcement below to the students at your institute and to anyone else you think might be interested. You can find more information at https://indico.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/event/569/
Of course, in case of forced cancellation of the event, the fees will be fully reimbursed.
We apologise if you have already received this message.
Best regards,
The Organising Committee:
Iris Feldt, Giorgio Laverda, Matteo Maturi, Cornelius Rampf, Massimiliano Rinaldi, Javier Rubio

The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Current Status and Relation to Other Interpretations
Center for Quantum Science and Technology
Tel-Aviv University, 18-24 October 2022
The MWI solves the measurement problem, avoids action at a distance and indeterminism and does not contradict empirical evidence. Why, then, it is not in the consensus? The workshop will aim to promote the ongoing debate on the foundations of quantum mechanics by dealing with the major open questions regarding the MWI and its alternatives.

Nottingham Centre of Gravity Inaugural Colloquia
As part of its launch, the Nottingham Centre of Gravity (NCoG) is organising a series of Inaugural Colloquia. The NCoG brings together Nottingham's internationally leading expertise in gravitational physics in the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Physics and Astronomy and plans to expand it into new areas. It will be built on six overlapping pillars of gravitational research: fundamental physics, mathematics, cosmology, relativistic astrophysics, experiment, and data & modeling. The six Inaugural Colloquia will span these fields.
The Colloquia will be broadcast via Zoom and all are welcome to attend. Please feel free to share this with friends and colleagues.
The schedule of talks is given below, with the first talk by Cumrun Vafa (Harvard) taking place on October 6, 2021. You can access all the talks through the following link:

We also encourage participants to register by filling in the following form in order to receive reminders and updates of forthcoming talks:

NCoG colloquia schedule
October 6 2021, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Cumrun Vafa (Harvard)
Title: String Landscape and the Swampland
Abstract: String theory landscape of vacua point to new consistency conditions that a quantum gravitational system must satisfy. There are only a small number of quantum field theories that satisfy these conditions and all the rest belong to the `Swampland' which cannot be consistently coupled to gravity. In this talk I review some of these conditions and their implications for cosmology and particle physics.
December 8 2021, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Anna Watts (Amsterdam)
January 19 2022, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Mihalis Dafermos (Cambridge & Princeton)
February 23 2022, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Lam Hui (Columbia)
April 6 2022, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Sheila Rowan (Glasgow)
June 8 2021, 3pm UK time
Speaker: Luis Lehner (Perimeter)
