Welcome to the homepage of the project Philosophy Beyond Standard Physics funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) which ventures into the philosophically largely uncharted territory where quantum field theory, general relativity and cosmology meet.

UPCOMING: FIRST INTERNATIONAL PROJECT WORKSHOP: Schrödinger’s Cosmic Cat (23 & 24 May 2024)
ABOUT:
The challenge of quantum gravity generally exhibits inextricable physical, mathematical, and philosophical aspects. The physical and philosophical angles, however, come into particularly sharp relief where the interaction between gravity and quantum matter is most energetic: in the very early universe right after the big bang, where quantum gravity intersects with cosmology. Although the philosophy of quantum gravity and the philosophy of cosmology have come of age recently, their overlap — as central as it is — remains underdeveloped. The project Philosophy Beyond Standards Physics seeks to change this.
