The Japanese “New Fire”
Pr. Gregory John Chaitin,
UM6P Institute for Advanced Studies
Our next Physics Seminar Series will occur on Wednesday, 13 March 24, at 11 AM at the UM6P campus (Ryad 8, 1st floor). We will welcome Gregory Chaitin, member of the UM6P Institute for Advanced Studies.
Abstract:
It is surprisingly little known that a major Japanese consortium is about to launch a new source of energy which, if it works as advertised, will be revolutionary. We will present an 8-minute video by this organization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72TR6jjZQec
This will be followed by answering questions and lead a discussion.

Speaker Bio:
Gregory John Chaitin is an Argentine-American mathematician and computer scientist. Beginning in the late 1960s, Chaitin made contributions to algorithmic information theory and metamathematics, in particular a computer-theoretic result equivalent to Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. He is considered to be one of the founders of what is today known as algorithmic (Solomonoff–Kolmogorov–Chaitin, Kolmogorov or program-size) complexity together with Andrei Kolmogorov and Ray Solomonoff. Along with the works of e.g. Solomonoff, Kolmogorov, Martin-Löf, and Leonid Levin, algorithmic information theory became a foundational part of theoretical computer science, information theory, and mathematical logic. It is a common subject in several computer science curricula. Besides computer scientists, Chaitin‘s work draws attention of many philosophers and mathematicians to fundamental problems in mathematical creativity and digital philosophy.
