Planet Formation: Where do we go from here (Theory/Modeling)?
Hal Levison
(Southwest Research Institute)
- It is difficult to know what problems will arise in the future.
- Computers are getting exponentially faster and new algorithms increase our abilities further.
- We are doing experiments that were beyond our wildest dreams only a few years ago.
- These new experiments have rocked our beliefs concerning the formation of planets.
- Rather then speculating on what the future holds, I will concentrate on the kind of changes
in thinking required to solve the problems at hand.
