- "Anticipating a New Golden Age"
Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate and Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Fundamental physics is poised to take a great leap forward in coming years. An extraordinary instrument - the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC - will enable us to see whether some gorgeous ideas about the ultimate laws of physics describe reality correctly. Nature has given us hints: Is she teaching, or teasing? In a multimedia presentation including rap video, spectacular images, some amazing ideas, and a few jokes, Mr. Wilczek demonstrates why this is an especially exciting time to be a physicist - or a curious person.

This is what I love about the web. Having access to these discussions is great
Brevity is the soul of wit- that is what Shakespeare wrote. Wilcezk is the embodiment of that soul. His 'clarity in exposition' spontaneously fuses with his wit and deep level of understanding of most abstract concepts of Particle Physics. For a man- 85 years old, an illiterate like me- got thrilled by his lecture.
Love professor Wilczek

+JiveDadson - thanks man, that is one boring dude beforehand!
+JiveDadson Yea, that guy talked for a while!
the laugh at 1:02:10 shows what a sense of humor and creativity scientists have, IMHO.
I think Feynman had the right approach. He said that it was not his goal to find an ultimate, unifying law, but only to find out more about how the world works. It should just turn out the way it is and he would be satisfied either way, as long as he was getting closer to the truth.
Excellent lecture. Thank you for sharing this.
Can someone figure out where to find decent media technicians who can actually let us see all the slides?
Now I want to see someone playing Minecraft on the LHC.
frank's books r awesome 2!
I know this was in news last year, but what happen? didn't hear anything for quite some time.
A New Golden Age!!?? Well.... if you say so.
Do scientists never look at their gig line?
Frank starts at 11:08
No one is infallible! ;-)
Why couldnt he talk more about the beautiful graph @ 45.44. Instead of shitting on about the LHC
Ah ha we've learn where nVidia got better.
Star Trek hair
oh boy you should see biology videos lol

Blah, blah, blah, he is a scientist, but sorry to say, he sounds like a pseudo-scientist... :-(
