    EMMEΦ Colloquium

    Theatron, Educatorium

    Prof. dr. Frank Wilczek

    The Materiality of Vacuum


    General Summary:
    The old idea of aluminiferous ether got a bad reputation, but in modern physics
    we’ve discovered that it is very fruitful to regard empty space, or vacuum, as a
    material. Vacuum can be polarized, or act as a catalyst, for example, and it is a
    superconductor. Conversely, materials can be viewed “from the inside” as the
    vacua of alternative worlds, which often have exotic, mind-expanding properties.
    These ideas suggest new possibilities for cosmology, and bring to life a profound
    question: What is a Universe?

    15:00 Opening

    17:00 Reception

    The Department of Physics covers a broad range of research areas, which can be
    unified under the umbrella of a “Center for Extreme Matter and Emergent
    Phenomena”. This new center strengthens the areas of joint interest and
    makes the existing coherence more apparent.
