Perimeter Institute: Convergence (WEBCASTS)

There are moments in history when the right people converge at the right place, in the right time, to catalyze something entirely new. Convergence will be one of those moments.

Physics is at a turning point. The most sophisticated experiments ever devised are decoding our universe with unprecedented clarity -- from the quantum to the cosmos -- and revealing a stunning simplicity that theory has yet to explain.

Convergence will bring together many of the world's best minds in physics to probe the field's most exciting ideas and chart a course for 21st century physics. The event will also celebrate, through commemorative lectures, the centenaries of two defining discoveries of the 20th century: Noether's theorem and Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Whether you're at Convergence in person or joining online, there are many ways to join the conversation:
• Journal of Brief Ideas: A unique forum where user-submitted questions, each no longer than 200 words, spark discussion and debate about a question related to future physics research. Get started by viewing and commenting on submitted ideas, and by submitting your own ideas.  Check out a quick video about how it works!
• Join the Convergence Facebook page to see the latest updates and to join discussions
• Follow @Perimeter on Twitter and use the hashtag #piCONVERGE
• Sign up for reminders to watch live Convergence talks, and join the live-chat during talks
