There are moments in history when the right people converge at the right place, in the right time, to catalyze something entirely new. Convergence was held to be one of those moments.

Physics is at a turning point. The most sophisticated experiments ever devised are decoding our universe with unprecedented clarity -- from the quantum to the cosmos -- and revealing a stunning simplicity that theory has yet to explain.

Convergence brought together many of the world's best minds in physics to probe the field's most exciting ideas and chart a course for 21st century physics. The event also celebrated, through commemorative lectures, the centenaries of two defining discoveries of the 20th century: Noether's theorem and Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Convergence was held June 20-24, 2015.
