The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum for scientists from various fields to discuss, debate, and stimulate progress on one of the emerging fundamental areas of theoretical physics -- the idea that our observable universe is part of a multiverse.
This conference is a collaborative effort between Columbia University, Perimeter Institute and University of North-Carolina-Chapel Hill, and is the second of a series of meetings aimed at stimulating progress in outstanding topics in theoretical physics. The first meeting in this series focused on the Origin of the Arrow of Time and was held at the New York Academy of Sciences last October.
