It's on! All alumni, friends and family are invited to join us online for the Amazing Science Race, a virtual race and scavenger hunt. You can participate on your own, or if you prefer, gather some friends or family members to round out your team.
Latham Boyle
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Over the past half-century, physicists have established the "standard model" of particle physics, which does a spectacular job of passing (nearly) all of the tests to which it has been subjected. But some of the most basic patterns in this model remain unexplained. Dr. Latham Boyle will introduce a few of these patterns, and some ideas for how to understand them, along with relating to a remarkable mathematical object called "exceptional Jordan Algebra".
The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
