This event is in the past.It took place on February 27, 2026 at West Hall.




Peek behind the curtain of theoretical physics at this free seminar on string theory's quest to model our universe. Jakob Moritz from Wisconsin breaks down the mind-bending math of higher-dimensional compactifications and why physicists are hunting through the "string landscape" for reality's blueprint.
