- The Physical Basis of Probabilities & Applications to Cosmology: Andreas Albrecht critiques multiverse and eternal inflation theories, proposing that all physical probabilities are quantum-based, with randomness rooted in physics, and explores the implications for cosmology.
- "What Exists in the Quantum Universe by Steve Giddings"Quantum mechanics is undoubtedly one of the most successful physical theories, and seemingly all observed events respect its principles. However, will it still hold true for the Ultimate Quantum Theory? What implications does it have for questions like "What exists?", "What are observations?", and "What is the structure of quantum gravity?" Join Steve Giddings as he delves into these profound topics.
