Anticipating A New Golden Age Speaker(s): Frank Wilczek
Abstract: Our present Core Theory of matter (aka “standard model”) was born in the 1970s, a Golden Age for fundamental physics. To date it has passed every experimental test, extending – by many orders of magnitude – to higher energies, shorter distances, and greater precision than were available in t... read more

A Night with Nobel - The Origin of Mass and the Feebleness of Gravity Speaker(s): Frank Wilczek
Abstract: Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 asserts that energy and mass are different aspects of the same reality. It is usually associated with the idea that small amounts of mass can be converted into large amounts of energy. For fundamental physics, however, the more important idea is just the opposite.
