Event Information:

It has been suggested that Planck-scale "spacetime foam" could have significant macroscopic consequences, perhaps even offering a way to address the cosmological constant problem.  I will describe progress in constructing a locally spherically symmetric minisuperspace model with a positive cosmological constant that may shed light on th
