Dear Colleague,

This is to remind you of this week's Thursday colloquium at PSI.

speaker:      H. Nicolai, AEI Potsdam
title:        Quantum Gravity: an Introductory Survey
date:         Thursday, May 7, 2009
time:         4 p.m.
place:        OSGA/E6 !!!!!!
WWW URL:      http://ltpth.web.psi.ch/colloquium/abstractnicolai.html

Abstract:
The unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity
into a consistent theory of quantum gravity, which may also lead to a
unification of space-time and matter at the Planck scale, is probably the
greatest challenge facing 21th century theoretical physics. In this talk I
will review the problems and (some of) the existing ansaetze for their
solution in an introductory manner.



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We would like to draw your attention to an additional special seminar
given by H. Nicolai on Friday, May 8, 11.30 in the same room OSGA/E6 with
the title 'Conformal symmetry and the weak scale'
(http://ltpth.web.psi.ch/seminars/2009/abstract-nicolai-20090508.pdf).

With best regards,
Alexander Mueck and Michael Spira
