Geometery and the Universe | Frank Wilczek | Nobel Conference

Описание: Frank Wilczek presenting "Geometric Fantasy" at the 49th annual Nobel Conference: The Universe at Its Limits taking place at Gustavus Adolphus College in 2013.

Theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics with David Gross and H. David Politzer for their discovery of “asymptotic freedom,” which holds that the closer quarks are to each other, the less the strong interaction (or color change) between them (and that when quarks are in extreme proximity, the nuclear force between them is so weak that they behave almost as free particles). In 1973, while a graduate student at Princeton, Wilczek and his adviser, David Gross, developed the theory (independently discovered by Politzer at Harvard), which was important for the development of quantum chromodynamics.

The Nobel Conference: Science and Ethics, in Dialogue
Since 1965, the Nobel Conference has been bringing leading researchers and thinkers to Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota, to explore revolutionary, transformative and pressing scientific issues and the ethical questions that arise alongside them.

As the only event in the United States authorized by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden to use this name, it is our privilege to host a space in which we can talk about big scientific questions, and the big ethical issues to which they inevitably give rise. The world needs more people who think critically about the crucial issues of our time, and who ask questions in ways that open up the conversation.
