To accomplish the extraordinary, you must seek extraordinary people. — James Lee Byars
This two day retreat brings together the top minds, thinkers and doers, in the fields of the physics of the universe both theoretical and experimental. The meeting fosters exchange and celebrates differences of opinion that provoke insightful discussions. We avoid standard prepared talks, and focus on exciting forefront issues spawned by new results and ideas. The summit this year is inspired by information as a technology and theory framework, by recent and upcoming results from cosmology, astronomy, the post-Higgs results, the evolution of the DM searches, and by paradigm shifting/breaking ideas in string theory, gravity and cosmology. A special session on "Data & the City, Data & the Universe" will highlight exciting data-driven applications and progress across new emerging disciplines.
