- 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.

Yay it’s our incredible Mr Wilczek honoring mankind’s wonder with his great mind ❤️✨🦋
It's interesting that the greatest minds of our time are predominantly atheist or agnostic. It's no coincidence that greater knowledge and understanding and an appreciation of reality leads to reduced religiosity (and that the inverse leads to the opposite).
Thank you G. A. College for these brilliant discussions and videos. I am now on the 3rd one and I am grateful for making them available to those who cannot take part directly. tful
Wilczek is elegant :)
Not all are falling sleep this days...
Absolutely .....volume needs some inflationary event.
Thanks to GAC for such a stimulating array of talks and questions.... Very interesting that Prof. Wilczek chose not to answer an incredibly fascinating question: Does time really exist or is it just a measurement of change? It seems to me that there is nothing ascientific about such a question, particularly given the implications of relatvity.
Not ascientific at all, it's a good question, just amazingly hard (hence the "wow") and any possible answer at this point is just speculative. Time is not an observable quantity in QM and it always appears as an indpendent parameter.
sound output of the video is too low to hear...
that cylinder blew my mind.
Start at 5:00 for the interesting part
I find it odd that this guy is actually playing up his mannerisms to appear as a stereotypical eccentric. All of the truly great minds in the history of science were able to see past this presentation
He is eccentric about some topics in Physics, I think. Super-symmetry and geometry are two of his favorites.
Pardon? :-(
