Title and Abstract for Will's talk:
It
Came
From
the
Swampland
Abstract:
Recent
developments
in
String
Theory
center
on
the
idea
of
the
"Swampland",
which
is
defined
as
the
set
of
low-energy
effective
theories
which
do
not
have
any
counterpart
in
a
complete
theory
of
quantum
gravity.
I
will
provide
a
pedagogical
introduction
to
the
Swampland
concept,
with
a
particular
focus
on
implications
for
cosmology.
There
may
be
some
snark.
