Quantum Physics and Universal Beauty - Q&A with Frank Wilczek

[@marcmarc172]

I love watching the Q&A first, and deciding to watch the lecture after. I can tell this is going to be a good one, the way he speaks and by the look in his eye.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

What an endearing exchange with the first questioner!

As we've read further in the book... “The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve” in the words of Eugene Wigner. Thanks for a wonderful talk. Looking forward to reading the book.

[@erikziak1249]

Thank you for this talk, very inspiring and I have to humbly take a few steps back and let those people work in peace and just admire the beauty of thoughts they manage to bring to the rest of us. And I feel lucky and happy that I (hopefully) understand at least in a very oversimplified way what this talk and Q&A section were about. Thank you for sharing this for free with the world. A few things make more sense now, but at the same time, I feel even more puzzled as I start to see new patterns and ask myself the typical "why?". I guess that is why I am no physicist, they simply tell us "how", but it is not their job to tell us "why". At the same time I am very critical and do not believe in some explanations of "why" simply because somebody expects me to do so.

Such humility in a brilliant mind

[@HarisPoljo]

I Love the way he speaks

[@LexusFox]

+Haris Poljo You can see he knows plenty by the way he talks, he's trying to smash everything in at the same time.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

The upper class english woman with the fabulous hair standing by behind him in black adds a slightly surreal tone to the proceedings.

[@luckyyuri]

+Julian Walker she's lovely, she breaks symmetry between hairstyle and neat british manner of speaking

[@ypey1]

That hairdo, pure quantum physics!

[@ypey1]

I see huge wave-like properties collapsing and fierce interference patterns emerging.

[@marcmarc172]

She was distracting and a bit annoying as well.

[@PauloConstantino167]

nobody asked you

Wow, this video just popped up, it’s 2019 now.... I am so happy to have found this, though I wish I could’ve seen it sooner, better late than never. Great content and concepts, it’s just perfect for my level of understanding of physics. Thank you 😊

[@TheRoyalInstitution]

He's great, isn't he? We've actually amassed quite a few Quantum talks over the past few years that you might enjoy. Our latest one is by Jim Baggott and he explains what loop quantum gravity is and why it might indicate that space itself is quantum in nature - kzbin.info/www/bejne/moiae2dvirmhqZo&lc=

i wish i had that much insight when i was 12 ._.

[@stressballer]

This guy is SO nerdy. Cool!

[@darwinlaluna3677]

That’s called LOVE!!!

[@kyzercube]

@ 8:20 I don't think the audience realized that was a joke embedded in a practical example. I found myself, creeping out myself laughing while the audience in the vid didn't LOL

[@MrEyee2]

+kyzer cube. Yes that was supposed to be a joke--and it was (It had me laughing), however, the audience was a little bit too serious--hahaha...I guess you've got to be when listening to such an intellect.

[@erictaylor5462]

3:10 The really amazing thing is, that this girl has a fairly good chance of still being alive in 100 years. How cool would it be for her, at the age of 112, to bring that paper up and see how close he was to what actually came to pass. Something to think about The oldest people alive in the year 2150 may have already been born.

[@atrbulldog5955]

Imagine being that well spoken at 12

[@TheGrahamBrechin]

I would ;)

[@MrEman752]

8:12 the guy with the purplish/pink shirt and the woman to his right..... You know theyre married

[@DanielSultana]

+Malfurion Hellscream you mean his left, correct?

[@stevenmusk7400]

+Daniel Sultana ah yes to his left

[@anthonyflores1606]

I liked her hair far better than this lecture. I'm glad I was able to stay awake to witness it. Her moleskine notebook was merely icing on the cake.

[@darwinlaluna3677]

Attraction

[@daxxonjabiru428]

I hear 'notebook' lady is in the running for "Upper Class Twit of the Year." I like her chances.

[@daxxonjabiru428]

+Daxxon Jabiru On the other hand, (I argue with myself) I bet she's really smart. I actually like her hair. It's 'jacked up to Jesus.' Although she could be an Atheist. I'm getting kind of turned on.

[@DavidAKZ]

Still no gravity waves - right ?

[@santhoshs2069]

Its discovered now... (:

[@CXS1181]

Her hair is just ridiculous lol

[@lungflogger9]

more cowbell.....
