ENTANGLED IDENTITIES: THE NATURE AND LOGIC OF EXISTENCE IN PHYSICS AND KABBALAH
Abstract: We will discuss some novel and bizarre features of the physics of the ultra-microscopic "quantum" realm, and relate the resulting conceptual worldview to that of the Kabbalistic and Chassidic masters. Special attention will be given to the notions of existence, identity, logic, creation, and the infinite.
Dovid Yehuda Imbo was born and raised on the Near West Side of Chicago. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1988, and did his postdoctoral work at Harvard University as a member of the Harvard Society of Fellows. He has been a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1992, where he is also the Director of the newly formed "Laboratory for Quantum Theory at the Extremes". His research focuses on the connections between quantum physics, pure mathematics, formal logic, and pure philosophy. He converted to Judaism in March 2017.
