The Meta-Conference for Peace “Shelter Island” take place on a digital comet of 4 km in diameter (ESA 67P), inside a GAME ENGINE in Virtual Reality, called "Rosetta Mission 2024”, powered by italian Artist Luca Pozzi. It will be Premiered the 17th may 2024 (2.30 p.m.) at the Cesare De Michelis Auditorium in Mestre (M9 Museum District) on the occasion of the opening of a wider Exhibition of the same name. The project, realized in collaboration with Fernando Garbellotto (Artist) and Marina Bastianello Gallery, expand it's boundaries to various public and private locations between Venice and Mestre from 17-05-2024 until 24-08-2024.
The Shelter Island Meta-Conference, introduced by Physicist Carlo Rovelli, presents a selection of the PERIMETER INSTITUTE's PODCAST based on interviews with the following visionary scientists:
-Carlo Rovelli [ On physics and philosophy ]
-Roger Penrose [ Q&A with 2020 Nobel Prize ]
-Shoini Ghose [ On revolutions - quantum and social ]
-Raymond Laflamme [ On the life changing power of curiosity ]
-Katie Mack [ On the end of it all - and new beginnings ]
-Hildign Neilson [ On stellar stories ]
-Savas Dimopoulos [ On the universe’s biggest unsolved puzzles ]
-Pedro Vieira [ On a theory of all quantum field theory ]
-Neil Turok [ On the simplicity of nature ]
In a post-pandemic present characterized by geopolitical tensions of energetic, ideological, economic and religious nature, the Meta-Conference comes to life to underline the importance of collaboration and dialogue as a modus operandi and Sine Qua Non condition in order to reconnects the public to an event that occurred in 1947 on an Island near New York which brought together the most famous and visionary theoretical physicists of the time to discuss the fundamental problems of quantum mechanics at the dawn of the invention of the atomic bomb.
Focus on conversations at the PERIMETER INSTITUTE and Roger Penrose:
A conversation with Nobel price for physics 2020 recorded during his last visit to Perimeter Institute. Conversations at the Perimeter is co-hosted by Perimeter Teaching Faculty member Lauren Hayward and journalist-turned-science communicator Colin Hunter. In each episode, they chat with a guest scientist about their research, their motivations, the challenges they encounter, and the drive that keeps them searching for answers. The podcast is produced by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, a not-for-profit, charitable organization supported by a unique public-private model, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada.
