Frank Wilczek on the future of Physics

"What will the next 100 years in physics bring? I don’t know, of course, but it is a mind-expanding question to contemplate." 

This how Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek starts his beautiful essay on the future of Physics. A must-read!

Frank Wilczek is is Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the MIT. In 2004, he shared with David Gross and H. David Politzer the Nobel Prize in Physics for
their discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of quantum chromodynamics.  

Today it's a good day to start lecturing

Today I start lecturing my first class, Thermodynamics and Electromagnetism for the degree of Geology at Sapienza.

There are many problems in Italian academia -- and the scientific community is standing up for fighting them -- but today I just feel proud and privileged to have the most beautiful job in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

On my way to the classroom

Recommended by us: Science Pie - A podcast about physics, history, literature and much more

Dennis Schulz, a physics student, and Annika Brockschmidt, a history and German student, are two podcast enthusiasts based in Heidelberg (Germany).

They created the independent podcast Science Pie, focussing on the variety of subjects science can offer. Their topics range from history to physics, from literature to engineering, in particular interdisciplinary work - a range of topics hard to find in the jungle of podcasts. They often use interviews with an involved researcher or professor as a base for the episodes.
And all of this is provided in a bilingual version (English/German) and a special care for details.

Dennis and Annika’s podcast successfully meets the effort of joining science curiosities, interesting stories about people and a collection of knowledge and facts on history, literature and myths. Join them and enjoy!
