Argyros Forum 201 - Charles and Nora Hester Faculty Senate Boardroom

General Public

Everyone is welcome to attend

The physical universe has a 13.8 billion year history as told by modern cosmology, from the early ultrahot “big-bang” stages to the formation of stars, planets, life, and very recently and locally, civilization.  Underlying this material history of matter following the laws of physics, however, is an often-untold history of information, and the processing of information through physical, computational, biological, mental and social systems.  Aguirre, arguing that the information is perhaps even more fundamental than the matter, will trace this history to tell a new story of our origins, our nature as thinking systems, and our potential long-term future.
