July 20-22, 2022 San Diego, CA
Conference Structure
We anticipate the structure of our conference to be as follows:
• Day 1: Abstracts
Each participant will present a 10-minute précis covering their expertise as well as a problem associated with time travel they hope to address.
• Day 2: Work Groups
Six to eight field-specific groups will be formed to work on problems suggested by the scientific committee but ultimately determined by each group. The day will be spent brainstorming solutions while uncovering new issues and bottlenecks.
• Day 3: Solutions
A representative from each group will present an overview of their problem, proposed solutions, and new issues that arose during Day 2. Talks will be recorded, transcribed, and later polished for inclusion in the conference proceedings, which will also include articles by individual group members.
Public Lectures and Activities
Public lectures will be offered each evening and local activities organized for participants (and their guests) before and after the conference.
Sponsors
Time Machines is hosted by the University of San Diego and sponsored by Quantum Gravity Research, TILT, and the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination (UCSD).
As with the previous retrocausality meetings, our proceedings will be published by American Institute of Physics (AIP).
