He'll be remembered for his role in the big bang theory…

More interesting for me, is his contribution to the observation that the event horizon has an informational invariant.

easye: have a look at: http://www.jp-petit.org/MPLA-singularite.pdf https://www.youtube.com/user/JPPETITofficiel https://www.jp-petit.org/science/Le_Modele_Cosmologique_Janus.pdf

pjb: Not sure what to make of _Le Modele Cosmologique_ as a text. But certainly a good thing to read on this day of sorrow.

In case anyone needs a bit of entertainment, I'd suggest "The New Cosmology" (Stanislaw Lem, short story in "A Perfect Vacuum")

or more factually I think I am buying ergodic gravity

wasn't ELS announced on relatively short notice?
11:04:23
JuanDaugherty
or did the email go out a long time after everybody else knew?

It was announced 2017-12-20 the first time I saw it.
11:09:08
JuanDaugherty

i've been subscribed to cmucl for ages, was more of a hassell to cancel
11:11:20
JuanDaugherty
that email came yesterday
11:12:35
Shinmera
Well, the authoritative source is linked on the website, which is https://lists.lrde.epita.fr/listinfo/elsconf
11:12:41
JuanDaugherty
Didier Verna originated and then the list sent it, possibly after an unknown delay
11:13:17
JuanDaugherty
so maybe it was just stuck in their list and something dislodged it
11:13:33
JuanDaugherty
because it's not cmucl specific in the body
