The quest for new physics Professor Raymond Volkas, School of Physics, The University of Melbourne The standard model of particle physics is an extremely successful theory, but we know that it is an incomplete description of nature. I will review the evidence for “new physics”: interactions and particles that extend the standard model. The evidence ranges from the experimental detection of neutrino masses through the existence of dark matter to puzzles such as the lack of antimatter in the universe…

Learning with STEM:What the WORLD Must be Like: Science used to be ‘Natural Philosophy’ until the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries saw a parting of ways. Science became increasingly empirical – performing experiments and recording findings – while Philosophy remained contemplative – pondering the principles of logic, knowledge, ethics and politics, and struggling to make sense of the human condition. Today, both disciplines can claim significant achievements for both new technologies and improved understanding, but they also…

Venue: Physics Lecture Theatre 1, Sandy Bay Campus Summary: Professor Berge Englert will argue that quantum theory is a well-defined local theory with a clear interpretation. Presenter(s): Professor Berge Englert Quantum theory has been singularly successful in the almost one-hundred years since its foundations were laid by Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, Paul Dirac, and others. Nevertheless, there is a debate – seemingly never ending – about the so-called “measurement problem” and other perceived problems.…

OzHF: What can Australia’s proposed high-frequency gravitational-wave detector teach us about neutron stars?
Presenter: Dr Paul Lasky, OzGrav-Monash University Since the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 from colliding black holes a billion light years away, the field of gravitational-wave astronomy has gone from strength to strength. The watershed discovery of colliding neutron stars in 2017 that was seen with gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum gave new insights into the speed of gravity, how matter behaves at supranuclear densities, and cosmology. Paul will describe a detailed plan to build OzHF: a…
