主讲人简介:
弗兰克·维尔切克(Frank Wilczek)1951年出生于纽约皇后区,在芝加哥大学物理系本科毕业后,前往普林斯顿大学继续深造,并于1974年获物理学博士学位。2000年始,担任麻省理工学院的物理系教授。他被誉为美国最杰出的理论物理科学家之一。
2004年,与戴维·格罗斯、戴维·波利茨一起荣获诺贝尔物理学奖。主要贡献:对量子场中夸克渐近自由过程中的有开创性发现,发现了量子场中夸克渐近自由现象,构建适用于所有物质的“万有理论”。诺贝尔奖评委会认为他们三人的研究成果对微观世界的研究作出了重大贡献,将他们的发现描述成“夸克世界一项精彩的发现”。瑞典皇家科学院说,由于三位科学家的发现,物理学朝着伟大的梦想又前进了一步,最终将形成一种涵盖包括重力在内的解释一切物理现象的理论体系。
讲座摘要:
Over the course of the twentieth century we have constructed a very successful fundamental theory of the behavior of matter. Viewed from this perspective, the world looks very different from our everyday reality. It is a very strange place, and a beautiful one —in particular, we've come to understand that the building blocks of matter appear as notes in a Music of the Void. I'll describe this using a combination of facts, pictures, and jokes. Finally I'll discuss some recent discoveries indicating that the world is even stranger than we've understood so far, and how we're rising to the challenge.
