Promising Young Physicist to Speak 
at Shawnee State University
(Please run 10/15 to 10/23)

             Fotini Markopoulou-Kalamara, Ph.D., hailed as one of the world’s most promising young physicists, will speak at Shawnee State University (SSU) on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Clark Memorial Library’s Flohr Lecture Hall.

            The lecture, entitled “Space and time, close up,” deals with the causal spin networks theory that Markopoulou-Kalamara helped to develop. It states that the universe functions like a giant quantum computer.

The lecture, made possible by the Jane M.G. Foster Lecture Series, is free and open to the public.
