Breakthrough Prize Symposium Stanford Monday Dec 4

[Omid Razavi]

Dear Friends,

I'd like to share with you about the Breakthrough Prize Symposium at Stanford University on Monday, December 4. The event is free and open to public. For more info, check out http://symposium.breakthroughprize.org/schedule. 

Our friend, Ostaad Cumrun Vafa will be on this panel session;

How Much Can We Know? 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Karl Deisseroth (Stanford University)

Cumrun Vafa (Harvard University)

2018 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics laureate

Our brains evolved to understand the African savannah. Can those same brains comprehend quantum gravity? Are there hard biological limits on how smart we can get? If so, can we surpass them by becoming post-biological? What about hard physical or mathematical limits on what can be known?

With my best,

Omid
