RealPlayer Archive of Panel Discussion
The Second Superstring Revolution took place roughly ten years ago. Many feel the times are ripe for the next one. We have organized this session to explore, in an informal and interactive way, possible directions that may lead to major new progress in our field.
We have assembled a panel that represents a sample of the leaders in the subject. During the first half of the session, they will comment briefly on their views of these issues. During the second half, the audience will be invited to offer their ideas. The panel and the audience will be welcome to comment. With some luck a real discussion might start.
We are counting on you to come and actively participate !Steve Shenker (Stanford) Raphael Bousso (UC Berkeley)
