Dr. Dean Rickles (University of Sidney, Australia): Leviathan and the Air Pump. Redux: The Case for String Theory
Date: Thursday 11 February 2010
Time: 15.30-17.00
Venue: Lecture hall BBL023 Buy Ballot Laboratory, Princetonplein 5, Utrecht (De Uithof)
Abstract:
In this talk I argue that the dominance of string theory in the research landscape of physics can be justified in a variety of ways. Here I focus on an argument similar to Hilary Putnam’s ‘no miracles argument’ that, I claim, many string theorists in fact espouse.
