Valuable information shared by reputable experts from all over the world
The ISTC-2024 conference is a follow up of the Finsler Extensions of Relativity Theory (FERT) and the Space. Time. Civilization (STC) international forums held in Cairo in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2023.
The past conferences focused on research into different space-time geometries and manifestations of the anisotropic Universe.
The past conferences focused on research into different space-time geometries and manifestations of the anisotropic Universe.
More than 100 participants from 20 countries took part in these conferences. Among them were Louis Kaufman (USA), Gary Gibbons (UK), Zhongming Shen (PRC). The programme of the conferences, apart from the main physics and mathematics section, included an extensive historical section related to visiting and studying the cultural monuments of ancient Egypt.
We plan to invite famous scientists and researchers across the globe to share their knowledge and expertise
