EmQM17 – The David Bohm Centennial Symposium

As the lead agency for the Fetzer Franklin Fund we are very proud to announce the EMQM17 Symposium in London this year.

On the occasion of David Bohm’s 100th birthday, a symposium on emergent quantum mechanics will be held at the University of London, Senate House, on October 26 – 28, 2017. This special issue features expert views that critically evaluate the prospects and significance – for 21st century physics – of ontological quantum mechanics, an approach which David Bohm helped pioneer. In original de Broglie-Bohm theory, the mathematical formalism refers to hypothetical ontic elements (e.g., John Bell’s “beables”) such as the quantum potential. In the 21st century, realist quantum approaches often distinguish between ψ-epistemic and ψ-ontic ontological quantum theories. Unlike ψ-ontic theories, the ψ-epistemic theories do not view the wave function ψ as a state of reality. Nevertheless, both types of approaches posit – again – the possibility of an ontological foundation for quantum mechanics.

About Emergent quantum mechanics (EmQM)

Emergent quantum mechanics (EmQM) is a research program that explores the possibility of an ontology for quantum mechanics. The resurgence of interest in realist approaches to quantum mechanics, including deterministic and indeterministic ones, challenges the standard textbook view. For example, standard “no-go” theorems against the possibility of realist, i.e., ontologically-grounded, quantum mechanics are increasingly recognized as falling short of their stated aim. Recent work also indicates that traditional assumptions and theorems such as nonlocality, contextuality, free choice, and non-signalling, need not necessarily contradict the existence of certain quantum ontologies.

What do beautiful furnishings and good food have in common? Outstanding design! Organic and eco-friendly food and drink products no longer feature only the “sunflower-and-green-lawn” look. Instead, they exude confidence in their streamlined, cool shapes and graphically-sophisticated packaging designs.

 Fine Food Design Exhibition shines with sophisticated products

Stilwerk Berlin celebrates this change with an exhibition that will introduce you to 50 carefully selected food and drink products in sophisticated packaging design. These range from various types of chocolate, healthy juices, organic spirits, roasted noodles, and caviar from the Alps to mixes for baked breads and sensible sweets.

kakoii is part of this Exhibition with two exhibits that demonstrate what good packaging design should look like today. We appreciate the recognition we have received for our design of Das Korn (The grain – premium liquor), and are pleased that our design for Dr. Go is also included in the exhibition.

Both products are definitely worth seeing and drinking.

You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition on August 7, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.

Exhibition runs from August 8 to August 31, 2013
at stilwerk Berlin, Kantstraße 17, 10623 Berlin

(Operating hours: Monday – Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.; Sunday 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.)
