Who wrote the music in this video? Hope someone can tell me. I really like it. It yearns for something greater ..

I believe it is from the movie "untouchables", linking several pieces. One can find it here: kzbin.info?search_query=untouchable+piano

Amazing institute. However should also consider its drawbacks, Richard Feynman argued that the IAS does not offer real activity or challenge: " 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! " 1985, Richard Feynman

looks amazing to work here! get paid to work on whatever you like. unfortunately my only skill is like pseudoscience in crystal energies healing, and insurance scamming. I need to brush up on my math skills

Institute of advanced studies is really a dignified grandiose and elite institute the world is having now. We have Titans like Ed Witten Juan Maldacena Nima Alkani Hamid. But why on earth they haven't featured Juan his ads cft correspondence is the gateway of understanding quantum gravity. I humbly request to this KZbin channel to make a separate video on him. The world deserves to know him

[@aryamanmishra154]

Everyone theorist knows about Maldacena. His paper is the highest cited HEP paper in history.

[@abhinandanmehra7765]

@@aryamanmishra154 Yes that One he wrote in 1997 of Ads/Cft correspondence or gauge gravity duality.

[@aryamanmishra154]

@@abhinandanmehra7765 So he is well known. Is it also called gauge gravity duality? Maybe.

[@abhinandanmehra7765]

@@aryamanmishra154 well I am a second year undergrad student at one of the university in India. All I know is this paper put forth a conjecture of Einstein's gravity with quantum mechanics in 5th dimension. So it is called gauge gravity duality. Half knowledge is treacherous. So I don't know about the mathematics of it. Alas
