- IAS produced this short film about its multifaceted community of scholars to capture the passion and enthusiasm on campus and reflect firsthand how the IAS environment supports and influences researchers' work. The film bridges the Institute’s history with the present day, conveying the timelessness and necessity of supporting curiosity-driven research in the sciences and humanities.
Just imagine Freeman Dyson chilling in the lawn.
I'm going to work there one day.
Do it! I believe in you!
How's it going?
@@user-kq2lk6uj3v this made me laugh more than I should have
@@user-kq2lk6uj3v pp00
have been doing research for my life, just realised that i have been actually doing mathematics...
what a joy!
My ultimate dream destination as a mathematician. :)
Dream place for any academian and intellectual. I'm in awe...
Heaven is indeed a place on earth. I hope to get there someday (or a similar with the same rules).
Wow, that was a really inspiring clip.
Thank you for doing this for Humanity.
This place is magical!! Wow, would love to be there
This place is truly like a dream ... Just Think ... No Other. I hope someday, there will be a place like this in my country. 🥺
best place in the world!!
Freeman Dyson is the literal representation of "Like a Boss" meme. A Master's amongst the Postdoctorates. A Legend.
That's because Edward Witten was not in the clip
@@WARDISWARD mnkkkkkkk
love academic research
Incredibly simple.
Heaven Place for me !
seems interesting!!
Looks like i finally found the location of where i want & especially need to be...
RIP Maryam Mirzakhani
That wasn't her...that's Yaiza Canzani but regardless Maryam would have fit right in...
RIP Freeman Dyson
I will be there one day
I fucking love science. And, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Freeman Dyson was still among us! I want to move to Princeton just to socialize with him.
RIP Mr Dyson!
RIP Freeman Dyson
why are there two "thumbs-down" on this video?! this place is awesome!!
The premise of who are the best people is up to debate. Faraday would never have qualified in such an institution and he outweighs this institution contributions collectively. "These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they are not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come. Nothing happens(@IAS) because there’s not enough real activity and challenge: You’re not in contact with the experimental guys. You don’t have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!" Richard Feynman. The idea of the institute was a good one but the actual result a failure. The institute is a hot bed for the establishment in science. This establishment is as corrupt as the Roman Catholic church. The establishment must maintain its status quo at all cost, billions of dollars are at stake and who gets to control that money. The dogma that comes from the establishment is beyond surreal. In the end the collective thought of billions has been corrupted.
well do you know cedric villani ? he often says that he got the most brilliant idea of his mathematical career here in IAS .
Sophie, the thumbs down icon should be eliminated. Sadly there is a certain element of CZcams viewers that have nothing to contribute positively.
Because not everyone agreed that just sitting and thinking will contribute best to the world since the world is much bigger and more complicated than theories.
@@pooltrader Yup, you have contributed equivalent to feynman that's why you can comment
That is my idea of heaven!
Studying is cool.
Mandelbrot never really knew what he had discovered. William Rowan Hamilton was close. They missed each other by 140 years.
I used to wander the intitute woods as I played hooky from my art classes at Pratt. I was trying to escape the nonsensical pretension that was enforced in my classes. I really feel that mathematics and science are the true educators of art. It is too bad that the Institute does not have an artist residency that integrates science and mathematics into art. Why do you only have an artists residency for musicians?
I create algorithmic art and I have so many questions that I wish could be answered.
If you're interested in a scientific view of art, check out a channel called StoryBrain. You might really like it.
It is close together. The director of Princeton, mr. Dijkgraaf, has next to his study physics, also studied art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.
Always play sport against a better player, if they like teaching and you like learning.
If "only 5% of the Universe is known".., 5% of infinity is still infinity. Knowing the Principle by which function becomes a modality of form, is most of 100% of the value in this quality.
A thinking utopia
Can a student who has complete a Vocational School attempt to work there?
Was that that Iranian mathematician woman on the footage? She just solved his problem, she was very good indeed. She will be sadly missed
I'm working on all they are but on my own. I think I will solve it, or at least add to it, on my own too.
우리 모두가 같은 원자 분자로 이루어져있다는 사실을 생각하면 우리를 만든 양자정보가 있다는 생각은 놀랍지 않다
Is it a Bullpit or Pasture?
Is the key 'entanglement'? nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwantumverstrengeling,
www.nature.com/news/the-quantum-source-of-space-time-1.18797.
Mark van Raamsdonk over Einsteins 'Spooky action at a distance'.
The key is factors of opposition, Einstein was sooo close if he just extended his theory of relativity a bit further.
If youre invited to be in IAS do you get to stay there as long as you want?
no, there are few permanent positions
Long live Dyson.
Jiansen Zheng :(
I think these people should pay no taxes. Why are we making life difficult for them?
Tenure tracked leeches live off tax payers money. They can at least give some of it back.
Here I'm dreaming of joining this institute one day (bcoz it's great and I love the place) and than there is my hero Richard Feynman on these type of institutes
"When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they're not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come. Nothing happens because there's not enough real activity and challenge: You're not in contact with the experimental guys. You don't have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!"
In surely you are joking mr. Feynman.
mathematics is mathematics
RIP Freeman Dyson.
I will become a cosmologist or a theoretical physicist and give groundbreaking theories in Institute of Advanced Studies.
You and me both brother. At least I hope so.
hebrews 11:1 now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.
It is heartening to note that even the highly learned people say that we know about the world only 5%. So the remaining 95% yet to be understood. Hope the institute like this will help in exploring the balance work.
It is because only 5% of the universe is built up of normal matter. Rest all consists of dark matter and dark energy and we know hardly anything about them except what they do on a large scale.
My intuition tells me differently. And what's that? Well reviewing the birthing of great ideas seems to mostly occur, when genius is stressed out with opposition and distraction.
0:32 " There is no student body here "
one day i will be there .
Do you allow researchers who have worldviews divergent to the consensus of people at your campus?
How ca I attend this school?
Institute for Advanced Studies is not like any other typical school/college. It is like a holiday destination where you can work in you field of interest. You don’t have teacher, no lectures, no deadlines or fees. All you have to do is keep working on your research topic. The benefit of this place is you get to work with the top most intellectuals in the world. In order to get into this institute you need to apply from their website. You will be selected based on your contribution to the field and the quality of research you have already carried out. If I may ask sir/ma’am, in which field do you work?
@@vedantmate1506 I am a film director who considerately study sticking to the world of academicism, trying not to be amateur or superficial but to be a serious scholaric minded.
So, the selection you mentioned, is that on the same criteria the formal academic system like university use when they select their scholaric members?
Because, I don't have any formal certification
@@chaidle the institute only accepts scholars in the field of maths, social science, art. They do not have research facility for film directors.
Save the Princeton Battlefield! Preserve our American history! Please do not expand the school onto hallowed ground.
I wonder what this person meant 5 years ago
what happens when they discover that everything that they are studying is created by spiritual beings, dang that would spoil the whole game.
Physical laws won’t be invalidated by such discovery. Remember, everything that makes life easier and more convenient, at least on a physical sense, is thanks to scientific breakthroughs, and I find it difficult that the work of these scientists will suddenly be devoid of any value.
haha typical Freemason building that tower says more than the movie........
It's obvious that this institute has failed in it's objective to get the best people.
That's false.
explain?
We arent there
its objective
why the fuck are art historians at the institute for advanced study. Only people that do useful things should have the privilege to wor kthere.
Are you sure they are not wasting tax payer's money? Healthcare costs are up, no money for infrastructure, China doing teleportation, while the Americans cannot.
Like all similar institutions videos. Full of high ideal, but in practice, there is moor life and new idea in Madam tusos than appear here. Now I know why I have been monitored by NSA & GCHQ 24/7 and my rubbish turns up published as new discovery by their scientist. All scientist of Space and matter just like biological zombies regurgitate what they have been fed. Every lecture, talk and new presentation is the same anywhere in any language. I cant see why there is so many. Every one could be replaced by speaking doll talking about crazy dogmas like black hole, dark energy, dark matter, expanding universe and sub atomic particle. All because they have no clue how to understand the data. MG1
These are just extremely selfish people who work on what interests them rather than what would actually help improve the world. The world is a mess exactly because places like this are elitist and only help 0.001% of the population to realise their dreams and passions. The educational system around the world is extremely poor and made to keep most people ignorant. Why don't you focus on studying things that will actually help mankind, like ending poverty and disease, fixing the political system, etc? This is just ridiculous. These people are proud to be happy in a small utopia while plenty of others are ignorant of science and starve, and these people are wilfully ignorant of it all. Humans are just the worst species that's ever come along, and I'm glad we will soon be gone!
These people though not directly doing this for the better of mankind are furthering their understanding of the field they are involved in and at the same time furthering that said field. They are not elitists, you just choose to see them that way, yes it's exclusive, but it aims to get a select few and help them out with their research, and they are always open to more people. I'll take Physics for example, simply, they deal with how the universe works from the quantum scale to astronomical scale of black holes, no where in that description is there a point where they are helping improve the education system, or the poor, it's simply just physics and that is what those who are involved with physics are doing, just physics. This institute is not a self contained town as it may seem, you don't have to comfortably situate your whole life inside the institute, the students of this institute are involved in things that goes past the institute themselves, they teach in lectures, attend conferences, some may even have side jobs, and some may even be volunteering. Finally what I want to say is that it's just unfair for you to make this judgement against the institute and the people that reside within it. "Why don't you focus on studying things that will actually help mankind, like ending poverty and disease, fixing the political system", most of the studies in the institute doesn't involve this, you are now putting down the fields which are not involved in this action, which millions of people have studied for years, you are putting down the significance of these fields, these passions, and interests, as they do not do what you condone.
You can make that claim about just about any institution whether it is a corporation in the business of making money or even the basic family unit ( am I having a child because it is a product of my sexual desire, am I having a child to perpetuate my genes forever, ect . ). Selfishness is everywhere , so go easy on the scholars at the IAS, they have a right to be there because they had to WORK HARD to master the knowledge necessary to become experts in their field.
well do you know Differential geometry , algebra , topology , analysis etc and a lot of high quality physics (which i don't know i am a pure mathematics grad student) , lead to Einstein's general relativity , which has contributed in forming the entire GPS system with almost exact precision !!!! well Riemanian Geometry is also responsible for the above , the game theory by john Nash has contributed a lot in economics mainly mathematical economics , the number theory part advertised by peter Sarnak in the video well the analytic part of it has many so called "REAL LIFE" contribution!!! number theory in total is very useful for cryptography that helps in forming passwords , for mobile phone , computers , ATM machines and many many things , listen one thing mate , without theoretical sciences so called practical and useful things fall apart , unless and until you have a theory behind , a proper highly skilled brain working behind a project leads to some great application of that beautiful "THEORIES / IDEAS. MATHEMATICS OR THEORETICAL SCIENCES ARE THE THINGS THAT MOST OF THE TIMES GETS UNNOTICED BUT ALARMINGLY THOSE ARE THE FIREPOWER BEHIND GREAT "RESULTS" OR APPLICATIONS THAT WE ENJOY IN EVERYDAY LIFE !!
@No ViDeOs No SuBs thankfully
Why do you care about them though
