Quantum Physics and Universal Beauty - with Frank Wilczek 

This guy gives amazing lectures. His calm, percise voice is hypnotic.

As an artist who loves physics, I find Frank Wilczek inspirational ❤

I listened to this on my 1hr+ commute home today, driving through the hills with my windows rolled down. Super relaxing, and the pauses give room to let things sink in. Seems like a pretty cool guy. I'd like to see him do a cooking show.

First listen to Frank...such a beautiful perception of the rules that govern us.. His excitement for his field left me smiling, like listening to a motivational video!

This lecture is one of the best lecture I ever heard. From knowing nothing about symmetry. I am now full of idea and imagination about it and how the world is shaped by this idea.

Wilczek is brilliant. His book "The Lightness of Being" is really a great start for anyone who wants to understand the strong force via QCD.

Settings -> Speed -> 1.25 (or 1.5 if you prefer) you're welcome lol

Frank, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it -- people like you! Now settle down and wow us!

Frank is a genius he lays the foundation for a true understanding of our Universe and how everything and everyone is an integral part in this muti-dimensional existence.

The lecture was great and informative! Thank you!

'Beauty' - hmm... I'm sure Richard Feynman (talking about 'guesses' or hypotheticals) said something like: "It doesn't matter how elegant or beautiful your hypothesis is, or who said it; if it doesn't match experiments, _then it's wrong!_ *_:0)_*

I never gave up and found quantum gravity intersects with the charge at this level

This picture will gives us understanding, and reminding us, the parallel worlds

Dr. Wilczek evoke equaion with nature. Now this is intrique. I would like to find out more. Thanks for provoking me to learn more about it.

28:00 This is the first picture of Maxwell I have seen where he doesn't have a beard.

Those two railroad tracks meeting in the distance is an illusion.

I cannot afford to have an ad free experience but The Royal Institution surely can afford to cut down on the innumerable ads.

Tiled floor from a different perspective is like visiting the plane of 3 D from a higher perspective …….an exercise to ponder change without change- might be the secret to solving our divided ness…. DIFFERENT BY SAME--ALL IN IT TOGETHER !

Beautiful, inspiring, both in content and in personal style.

The concept of existence is an amorphous information cloud of fluid motion, and the occurrence of dominant probability of synchronized change in motion forms space time. This process is exemplified by boiling fluid, one that emits and combines throughout existence, then has the "residual" asynchronous spectrum of motion excluded from synch that is fields of quantized connection, - Quantum Fields. The properties of async are arranged by the math of probability distribution, in sync, duality/symmetry, 3D, ..to the limit of improbablity at the boundary of zero, beyond completeness. To represent this ultimate vanishing point of information, distribution requires a completeness of combined techniques that inform the perception of a connected universe, and this process is dependent on total reflection of the information as "spin", so apparently, a spin/wave "writes" the point origin of connection into the structure of space time by combinations of probability duration. We like what we believe we are in tune with / understand.

That tie that Frank is wearing has the same ( or very similar) design on it as the design on the wall behind him.

Great job Frank - I really enjoyed the pace and tone of this lecture.

Great thinker, challenged speaker.

Although I appreciate this video with all of my heart, I am shocked! That Frank Wilczek did not once credit the great dutch Artist Maurits Cornelis Escher of whose work is used as an example here in this lecture. Wilczek blithely assumes that Escher's brilliant work on perspective and symmetry is somehow ubiquitous in the Art World. It is NOT! Please give credit where it is due, thank you very much

Beauty is everywhere!!!

Children are the embodiment of an idea in a very non-abstract way and in the most physical way

A great talk. Sadly, most times we can't see what he's showing the public.

Suppose we change yang /yang for light / gravity For now we find light and gravity are same speeds. Isn’t already unification....like pi and phi resolved though so many rungs of expressions.?

Okay what am I missing? Isn't he getting it wrong when he says the fields/particles always occur in pairs? Isn't the Higgs field an implicit third in the cases where the particle has mass? Also aren't virtual particles implicit in all of the pairings? They're just mostly one-sided random noise with the occasional "Whoops, we just broke the symmetrical beauty by making Hawking radiation, what do we do with this extra bit?" What about entanglement, doesn't that break the pretty picture if you entangle pairs of particles and send the entangled ones off in random directions. Suddenly every "beautiful" symmetrical operation you do locally results in just crap/white noise elsewhere in the universe. Doesn't seem to make any testable predictions...seems more like a bit of mental entertainment than science.

I never had considered the deep conceptual parallel of the ancient yin and vang and the field-particle duality. It occurs to me now that the important aspect of both paradigms is the shared qualities, not the apparent contrast, exemplified as the small opposite circles within each half of the yin and yang. The point is that the basic idea that there are opposites is wrong. The truth is how apparently different things can be one and the same, invoking their own existence through their relations as one. Gravity is a great example. But I appreciate the added complexity of the color force which is nevertheless just another duality.

6:37 🙋‍♀️ Mr.Wilczek Sir, that's a triangle...

A complicated topic explained with language. Good work. Will purchase the book.

Wow wow wow!!! So amazing!!

"Metric Fluid" = Time Duration Timing in Eternity-now. If a particular chosen wave length of sound or light is chosen as a quantum metric, the cause-effect of AM-FM conduction of the reciprocal frequencies in zero-infinity range of prime multiples combine, zero-infinity, from the ground state synch to every combination and permutations of that standard length to the inflated by exclusion outer vanishing point, and the superimposed inner vanishing point.., which is the natural occurring construction of a specific resonance holographic imaging space such as exists in the Observable Universe. Actuality is the reverse process of observation, "Superfluid time duration timing" is naturally self-identified virtual-projection quantization of e-Pi-i resonance imaging. This temporal Superposition-> projection by "priming" point Singularity quantization is Math-Phys-Chem and Geometry in the Spacetime Hologram.., the cause-effect of the Central Limit constant of zero difference, one eternal connection symmetric synchronicity, distributed by exclusion-inflation (connection one implied potential possibilities for numberness superimposed on potential infinity), of this graduated prime, sync-interference principle, called quantization.

Fantastic speaker, fascinating topic. I usually consume the drier science talks and lectures that RU-vid offers, and found this very gratifying

There is beauty in asymmetry too. Enter the randomness of probability curves.

I love quantum physics

your onto it. just need the equations.

Frank packed the house this night.

I agree 1.25x is the way to go

Godspeed now I need a qomputer

Y they put image in the background, it hurts me , so much ,

It's a shame but I can't help wondering if this would be more accessible and more interesting delivered by a more engaging speaker. Public speaking is clearly not Wilczek's forte. Bringing the speed to 1.25 at least makes him appear to speak at a normal pace. Truly interesting subject though.

Symmetry also tends to be an indicator for good biological health which why most of us instinctively find symmetrical faces beautiful. We are preprogrammed to seek healthy mates which will hopefully provide healthy offspring. The sciences and the arts inform each other. This lecture beautifully illustrates this. Art can inspire intuitive leaps in science.

Excellent and wonderful!

He is so happy its funny.

By the way... great tie!

"Anachromic Art" looks a lot like some of Warhol's work.

his glee for the matter is always enjoyable- especially increasing the playback speed as per +ozbodozzy suggests, he reminds me of a robotic Ed Wynn :) m.imdb.com/name/nm0943956/

As within as without - This is the ultimate symmetry of existence. The inner abstract world of thinking moves as the outside solid of showing. Thought IS inner spacetime. Think of a tree: an image of it is known, and together with it a non-tree is known - duality within. This is an experiential fact, above thought. A fact has no thought in between, hence no spacetime, that is why it IS - This is the nature of the movement of within. Observe and know this. This fact within and this fact without: Quantum entanglement IS: No outer Spacetime interaction. As within as without. Within: when the observer is known to be the observed and not divided - Without: quantum teletransportation. Within: thought settled and in no inner spacetime known - without: matter(star, planet, etc.). Within: the movement of thought as warping of inner spacetime - without: the movement of show as warping of outer spacetime. Within: when a thought questions itself through thinking looking for an illusory answer of itself (warp of inner spacetime affected by non-seen thoughts (dark matter) to make known the answering thought). Without: gravity (warping of outer spacetime), matter and dark matter interact, orbits. Within: No thought movement - Without: singularity in black hole. Within: The process leading to the non-experience experience of enlightenment - without: the process of the death of a star leading to the the non-experience experience show of the whole out in no outer spacetime. Within: low thought activity, all perception slows down - without: near black hole, outer time slows down. The within and without merges in WITHINOUT. This is a direct experience, rather than an intellectual concept. Don't use thought to try to understand this. That's, the orbit. Rather, observe and know the mechanism of thought within and know the without by observation.

Is this guy describing particle spaces my theory is 1kg /electron mass =particle spaces per kg

Someone should get him a comb and sit him down and explain how to use it.

He say aah every few seconds

We will learned the secrets of quantum mechanics the problem is that the next Einstein is yet to be born. Someone will unite quantum mechanics with general relativity it’s coming hopefully my son will crack these secrets.

If you know how to drive, you can drive any vehicle’s to anywhere, to the universes

Jet lag?

Why did he pick out that tie?

The "Yoga" of all the forces comes from mechanics. You have a potential determined by configuration of the system (position and velocity). The negative spacial derivative of the potential represents a force. Forces cause the configuration to change and evolve over time. The updated configuration alters the potential field. All this comes from the definition of what a force is, and is not necessarily an inherent property of nature; just how physicists like to think about it.

Horrible slides. He should have let one of his grad sudents design the power point presentation ;)

Light speed is not C. Light is different from the energy of light which is traveling at C. right? thanks.

Dude should get his nose checked out

Sad , how viewers tune in and fail to be entertained , then comment . entertainment in this portion of science is a far secondary value to gaining knowledge.

He brings forward interesting and captivating points... but something about this talk feels very pseudo-scientific. Am i missing part of the big picture here or anything? Seems like he took a concept based in math and science and extrapolated it in his own interpretation to parallel science appropriately. Similar to what you see in the new age stuff with crystals and vibrations. My thoughts are maybe he is bringing forward scientific ideas, but is trying to convey them in an easily understandable way at the expense of rigor?

"FROM EVOLUTIONIST TO CREATIONIST" BY PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH BEAUTIFUL TRUE AMAZING POWERFUL INSPIRING STORY FROM SOUTH AFRICA YOU TUBE ENJOY BEAUTIFUL WATCH ❤️🙏🏾❤️

Wow, so Slow ...

Hi i am just playing

Was Andy Warhol an anachromic artist?

Actually hi

The ideas, proof that’s, even, small particles, can be much smaller

Very interesting, but this video relies on the assumption that quantum particles play a role in what is perceived by living organisms - reference frames. How can we be so sure of that? Where's the neurological evidence? While it would be nice to believe this (fingers crossed), I think we need more evidence.

Those pregnant pauses make this unwatchable

I think he needs to check up his health as he does some heavy breathing sounds a lot and very loudly as he got constantly in a hard-time extenuative situation!

Spoiler alert, It didint work. They didint find any super-symetrical particles. Now stop conjuring mystical assumptions and do actual materialistic science. Thanks

Shame the really intelligent guys aren't 'very good communicators or lecturers, except Feynman, it's the lesser mortals like Sean Caroll and Lawrence Krauss who are best at explaining this stuff Lol,

Hey Frank! Where's those Axions? Soon, theoretical physics will go back to physics.

This should be course curriculum in History because History should mean "History of grey matter".Instead we read about fucking kings and their territories .

Though the topic is very interesting, I gave up after 15 minutes. This is so not watchable. I realise now, the significance of public speaking.

1.5x also good ;)

more cowbell.....

He sounds like he's constipated, but trying to soldier on.

"RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR"? BY PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH AND MARTIN SMITH YOU TUBE POWERFUL POWERFUL WATCH FROM SOUTH AFRICA ❤️🙏🏾❤️... TRUTH ALWAYS WINS ❤️🙏🏾❤️

Este gajo não tem jeito para palestras...

The world would have been so much more beautiful if humans were never ever on it.

nice trick tho

I am so annoyed matters doesn't bend space whats happening is theres an event and you trying to count the space that's now an event in the past so now theres less space at the point of an event so space expands into point this is why when you zoom into atoms particles seem to almost teleport and jump cause the space its in is now some were else when you get to the more massive scales you only experience an average influence from all the events around gravity is just where there is more events then there is expanding space then events will fall to one another can I have my Noble prize or will some random scientist see this and take credit for it i don't Know i don't really care i just want to get off this planet already and that's not going to happen as long as people keep on seeing space as this static soup we move through and some how bend and curve

this video also works as a sleeping pills

Very weird. He just keeps jumping from one topic to another and sprays keywords and symmetry nonsense.

You people with your short attention spans. Read one of his many books and maybe if you read it fast enough, you can then comprehend his briliance. Brats.

Prof.... why do you seem so nervous?? poor presentation and bad slides !!!

Probably the least compelling RI presentation available on RU-vid. Unprepared, uninspiring. Thumbs down Frank, we all know you can do much better.

This is a good example of how someone with very interesting ideas and vast knowledge of a subject, alas, destroys it by being inept in rhetoric. He needs help in this regard. He lost me halfway in. :/

Very beautiful theory, very boring presentation.

I got bored before he even started..

He seems extremely nervous

Worst Royal Institute presentation upload on RU-vid. Seriously.

Some people (like, Kevin Smith or John Carmack) are natural born storytellers, and can keep you listening for hours. Sadly, this guy is totally the opposite of that. Even his breathing alone is unbearable. But even the subject sucks anyway.

That coughing woman should leave . She is very annoying

Brutally boring.

Boring and useless! No information.

boring af
