Quantum potential meets the Dynamic Universe is an interactive meeting where ideas about general relativity, cosmology and quantum mechanics are shared, and a lot of time will be left to discussions. The starting point is the Dynamic Universe theory by Tuomo Suntola, which will be linked to the approaches of David Bohm (1917-1992) and Basil Hiley (1935-2025), which include the de Broglie-Bohm theory, and the Implicate order theory, as well as to other approaches which will be presented in the workshop, such as Dark energy, Dark matter, Gravitational waves, Non-classical gravity and Clocks in the overlap of QM and GR.
The workshop honors the intellectual legacy of Bohm and Hiley. Both physicists, who worked in London at Birkbeck College and later at UCL (Hiley), championed the importance of exploring novel and unorthodox perspectives in quantum theory in an open-minded way. Their work reminds us that scientific progress often thrives when we listen to divergent viewpoints in a spirit of dialogue, where a primary aim is first to understand what they mean, before moving on to a critical evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses. This way we may hope to obtain a creative tension rather than a meaningless conflict between the viewpoints.
