How beauty leads us to the truth
"Science has no purpose," said 18th-century empiricist philosopher David Hume. Science is the realm of facts, not values. So how does science set goals for the future and discover new facts? In this lecture series, Frank Wilczek attempts to dispel a long-held idea that David Hume left behind. In exploring how science, once thought of as a realm of facts and facts only, interacts with the realm of values, he looks at the history of scientific progress that has brought us to where we are today and the possibilities for the future.
The landscape of science that Frank Wilczek sees is full of beauty. And within that beauty are clues to what we call truth. It was this realization, he says, that led to the great discoveries that earned him the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics.
What is beauty as seen by Frank Wilczek, one of the world's greatest living physicists, and how can beauty lead us to truth?
Full Bio
Frank Wilczek
- Professor of Physics, MIT
- Founding Director of Shanghai T. D. Lee Institute
- Chief Scientist, Wilczek Quantum Center
- Nobel Prize in Physics (2004)
Frank Wilczek is an American physicist and the 2004 Nobel Physics Prize winner. He received his master's degree in mathematics and his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University, and in 1973, while still a graduate student at Princeton, he and his mentor David Gross published a paper that identified an unknown force called the color charge, or the strong force, that exists between the quarks that make up the nucleus of an atom. This work, which led to his Nobel Prize, is credited with helping to realize the scientific dream of a single theory of nature (unified field theory).
Frank Wilczek is currently a professor of physics at MIT and Arizona State University and continues his active research as a senior scientist at the T. D. Lee Institute and the Wilczek Quantum Center in Shanghai, China. He is the author of A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature’s Deep Design, Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality, and more.
