Vad var det egentligen som hände när en av de mest offentliga ryska krigsmotståndarna i Sverige, Daria Rudneva, blev ett allvarligt säkerhetshot? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Konflikts reportrar får av en slump reda på att den ryska fredsaktivisten och forskaren Daria Rudneva ska utvisas och förbjuds återvända till Sverige och hela Schengenområdet under 20 års tid. Hon är en av grundarna av den svenska antikrigsorganisationen Ryssar mot kriget, men hon uteslöts därifrån i maj 2022.Reportrarna ger sig in i ett gråzonsland, där frågorna är många men svaren svåra, ibland nästintill omöjliga, för journalister att slå fast. Resan tar reportrarna från de ryska fredsaktivisterna, in i Stockholms universitetsvärld och ända upp i den globala forskareliten, i de absoluta frontlinjerna av den mänskliga kunskapen. Vem och vad kan vara en säkerhetsrisk i Sverige idag?

Dr. Frank Wilczek is the newly announced recipient of the 2022 Templeton Prize, which, valued at over $1.4 million, is one of the world's largest annual individual awards. Dr. Wilczek is celebrated for his investigations into the fundamental laws of nature that have transformed our understanding of the forces that govern our universe. In this video, Dr. Wilczek explores the question, ‘does the world embody beautiful ideas?' through science and humankind's relationship to (and love for) symmetry. "We can look at the record of what people have found beautiful, what they were hoping for in their understanding of the world with what the remarkable understanding of the world we've achieved in recent years looks like. And we can therefore frame a meaningful discussion and a meaningful question, a meaningful meditation, on the issue.” The Templeton Prize was established by the late global investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton. It is given to honor those who harness the power of the sciences to explore the deepest questions of the universe and humankind's place and purpose within it. -------------------------------------------------------------- About Frank Wilczek: Frank Wilczek is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician and a Nobel laureate. He is currently the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Wilczek, along with David Gross and H. David Politzer, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for their discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction. He is on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Future of Life Institute. His new book is titled A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About The Well Do we inhabit a multiverse?

Nobel Prize winning physicist Frank Wilczek reflects on Einstein's greatest contribution. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek is considered by many to be Albert Einstein's successor. He studied Einstein's discoveries, expanded upon Einstein's ideas, and, for several years, even lived in the same house Einstein used to. Wilczek's dedication led to even more advancements in humanity's understanding of our world, particularly his work on symmetry in the laws of physics. Thanks to Einstein, scientists were introduced to the concept of symmetry amid theories of general relativity and the fundamental laws of physics. Though he hadn't explicitly articulated the role of symmetry in our universe, he did set up a framework that future scientists could expand upon. Here, Wilczek explains the steps taken to understand symmetry as a key component to physics, and how these steps ultimately contributed to his own career as a physicist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ❍ About The Well ❍ Do we inhabit a multiverse?

I have had the privilege of working closely with Frank Wilczek for over 40 years, on and off, and we have written perhaps a dozen scientific papers together over that time. Our collaborations together were always a source of joy, and often of wonder, and I am pleased to say that a number of them had significant impact on our fields of study. While I have had the privilege of working with many talented scientists during my career, Frank is unique. He is one of the most broadly read, deep, and creative scientists I have known. To first approximation, he has read everything in science, and one of the characteristics of our own collaborations that has been so much fun is entering an entirely new field of study and learning how much is known about it, and how that knowledge might be used in new contexts. Frank is likely the most significant theoretical physicist of my generation, and along with Ed Witten, perhaps the intellectually most gifted. That he won the Nobel Prize for work performed as a graduate student with David Gross to develop the theory of one of the four known forces in nature is notable, but it just scratches the surface of his interests and accomplishments. While Frank and I have appeared onstage together on numerous occasions, I was waiting for the opportunity to sit down with him for an extended period to discuss his life in science, and the areas of study that reflect the most significant developments of recent times, and the outstanding challenges in our field. It was a pleasure to be able to do so for this podcast. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and that it inspires your interest in the world around us.

Maureen's new book is about the extraordinary new sensory research for St. Martin's Press. FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: THE ASTONISHING NEW SCIENCE OF THE SENSES has been named a "must-read" by Malcolm Gladwell and his team at the Next Big Idea Club. In 2016, scientists proved that humans could see light at the level of a single photon. We are living in historic times when humans may look at the very fabric of the universe in a laboratory setting. Around the world, other recent discoveries about the senses are just as astounding. It turns out we can hear amplitudes smaller than an atom, smell a trillion scents, have a set of taste buds that can discern molecules of fresh water, and can feel through the sense of touch the difference of a single molecule. Fearfully and Wonderfully Made takes readers through their own bodies, delving into the molecular and even the quantum, and tells the story of our magnificent sensorium and what it means for the next wave of human potential. From the laboratories to the ordinary homes where these breakthroughs are taking place, the book explores our current sensory Renaissance and shows readers how they, themselves, can heighten their own senses and experience the miraculous. Maureen is the coauthor of STRUCK BY GENIUS: HOW A BRAIN INJURY MADE ME A MATHEMATICAL MARVEL with savant Jason Padgett. Maureen has written for the New York Times, National Geographic, ESPN the magazine, Vogue, Glamour, Psychology Today, the Daily Beast and many other venues. My nature photos and videography have also been featured in National Geographic. Her writing has been optioned for dramatization eight times. Maureen has several forms of synesthesia, including the profound empathy of mirror touch and in 2013 tested positive for the genetic basis for tetrachromacy, or the presence of a fourth cone class for color perception in my eyes. I have subsequently tested positive for functionality through Arizona State University by a team led by Kristopher Jake Patten, Ph.D. and including Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek. Vogue called Maureen the "Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes" in a feature in 2014. I'm very honored to have collaborated with MAC Cosmetics as the inspiration for and color consultant on a line of super-pigmented lipstick called Liptensity. Reports about Maureen have appeared in the New Yorker, New York Magazine, NPR, Allure, French Vogue, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Elle, Cosmopolitan, NYLON, Refinery29, Women's Wear Daily, TEDWeekends and many other publications. She is an alumna of the inaugural Norman Mailer Writers Colony. _______________________________________ Be sure to subscribe to this channel so you don't miss a show!

Is reality real? These neuroscientists don't think so, with Richard Dawkins, Heather Heying, Donald Hoffman & more Is there an external reality? Is reality objective? Is the information your senses are feeding you an accurate depiction of reality? Most neuroscientists, biologists, and scientific leaders believe that we only understand a sliver of what is real. Although we assume our senses are telling us the truth, they're actually fabricated to us. Considering senses are unique from person to person, and through our unique senses we can only intemperate a fraction of what is real, there is no all-encompassing perspective one can have. Because of this, we need to take our perceptions seriously, but not literally. Multiple perspectives have to be taken, as each will have some sort of truth lies within them. Seeing partial truth in multiple perspectives is fundamental to navigating the world and making informed decisions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS: 0:00 Beau Lotto on how we perceive our external reality. 0:32 Alva Noë on how our reality projects into our nervous system. 1:20 Donald Hoffman on if our senses are telling us the truth. 2:58 Frank Wilczek on how we perceive color and sound. 4:41 Daniel Schmachtenberger on perception, choice making, and navigating reality. 6:01 Heather Heying on how to figure out what is true in reality. 6:28 Richard Dawkins on objective reality vs. science -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Time seems linear to us: We remember the past, experience the present and predict the future, moving consecutively from one moment to the next. But why is it that way, and could time ultimately be a kind of illusion? In this episode, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek speaks with host Steven Strogatz about the many “arrows” of time and why most of them seem irreversible, the essence of what a clock is, how Einstein changed our definition of time, and the unexpected connection between time and our notions of what dark matter might be.

Think about the last time you were struck by a gorgeous painting in a museum, or heard a song that brought you to tears. All of us know what it's like to be stopped in our tracks by a beautiful sight. But scientists are still puzzling over why this is the case. What's the point of beauty? Why is it seemingly so important to us? This week on the show, neuroscientist Anjan Chatterjee explains the function of beauty in our daily lives. Then, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek describes how beauty served a purpose in some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of our time.In case you missed it, make sure to listen to the last installment of our Healing 2.0 series, The Power of Apologies.

In this episode Conal Elliott gives a more concrete presentation on what is Denotational Design is and how to use it in practice. It is a continuation of episode #17, in which we had an in-depth philosophical conversation to explain why he believes that Denotational Design is a superior form of reasoning in the realm of computer science. We also continue a discussion raised by Dan Ghica on the last episode on the need for Operational Semantics and the role of elegance in reasoning and design.

Dr. Frank Wilczek is a theoretical physicist who recently received the 2022 Templeton Prize, adding to his Nobel Prize and MacArthur fellowship. He spoke with ReligionUnplugged.com executive editor Paul Glader about his religious upbringing and how it positively affected his approach to science. He also talks about how and why he became disillusioned with the religious teachings he experienced in his youth.

An introduction to modern physics and to Richard Feynman at his witty and enthusiastic best, discussing gravitation, irreversibility, symmetry, and the nature of scientific discovery. Richard Feynman was one of the most famous and important physicists of the second half of the twentieth century. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, celebrated for his spirited and engaging lectures, and briefly a star on the evening news for his presence on the commission investigating the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, Feynman is best known for his contributions to the field of quantum electrodynamics. The Character of Physical Law, drawn from Feynman's famous 1964 series of Messenger Lectures at Cornell, offers an introduction to modern physics—and to Feynman at his witty and enthusiastic best. In this classic book (originally published in 1967), Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features, arguing that the importance of a physical law is not “how clever we are to have found it out” but “how clever nature is to pay attention to it.” He discusses such topics as the interaction of mathematics and physics, the principle of conservation, the puzzle of symmetry, and the process of scientific discovery. A foreword by 2004 Physics Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek updates some of Feynman's observations—noting, however, “the need for these particular updates enhances rather than detracts from the book.” In The Character of Physical Law, Feynman chose to grapple with issues at the forefront of physics that seemed unresolved, important, and approachable.

I get it! The world tells you that meditation is about silence, no thoughts and that you must do it every morning in a prayer position; RULES AND REGULATIONS are what they are selling, period! As Buddha instructs, meditation is the way to become aware that you are The Quantum Observer and the power that brings. And as 2004 Nobel Prize recipient Frank Wilczek stated, "God plays a deep yet strictly rule-based game which looks like dice to us." So what does this mean? Listen in as I answer fellow Phoenix Pooja Panchal's question about mediation and Quantum Observation.

When a Nobel Prize-winning physicist begins to speak of the universe as “a work of art,” don't we want to ask him whether the universe itself could be numbered among the sacred arts? And whether he thinks there might be an Artist? Frank Wilczek is brilliant and engaging, with a talent (and commitment) to making complex concepts understandable for the rest of us.

Sabine Hossenfelder has a PhD in physics and is presently a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS). Sabine works on physics beyond the standard model, phenomenological quantum gravity, and modifications of general relativity. Hossenfelder has also been researching since at least 2008 on how technology is changing researchers' ability to publicize, discuss, or publish their research, when she co-organized the Science in the 21st Century workshop. She has written more than 70 research articles, mostly dedicated to quantum gravity and physics beyond the standard model. In her channel "Science without the gobbledygook," Sabine talks straight about science: No hype, no spin, no tip-toeing around inconvenient truths. New video each Saturday. Hossenfelder's first book, Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, released in June 2018. A review in Nature described it as "provocative", and Frank Wilczek recommended it as an "intensely personal and intellectually hard-edged" book. https://www.youtube.com/c/SabineHossenfelder Sabine blogs at backreaction.blogspot.com Audible is hands-down my favorite platform for consuming podcasts, fiction and nonfiction books!

Cartea laureatului Premiului Nobel pentru fizică din 2004, Frank Wilczek, este încercarea unui om de știință de excepție de a explica pe înțelesul tuturor cercetările pentru care e recunoscut și domeniul în care a lucrat toată cariera. Un volum scris și cu scopul de a răspunde unor întrebări primite de-a lungul timpului de la cunoscuți care nu aveau legătură cu studiul fizicii. La nivel fundamental, lumea fizică arată altfel decât ne spun simțurile și intuițiile cu ajutorul cărora ne descurcăm în viața de zi cu zi, iar pentru a o înțelege trebuie să ne naștem a doua oară și să învățăm felul în care funcționează universul la scară microscopică și la scară cosmică așa cum bebelușii învață să meargă și să vorbească. În această aventură a dezvățării și învățării ne călăuzește laureatul Nobel Frank Wilczek, unul dintre cei mai inventivi fizicieni contemporani, cu contribuții esențiale la descifrarea comportamentului particulelor elementare. Privit de la altitudinea sa intelectuală, peisajul lumii fizice se simplifică și capătă pregnanță. Wilczek discută zece principii generale pe baza cărora explică bogăția și complexitatea cosmosului, ne prezintă câte o temă din perspective diferite (abundența spațiului și a timpului, numărul mic de particule și de legi, materia, energia, evoluția cosmosului…), mereu fidel noțiunii de complementaritate, și face predicții legate de viitoarele descoperiri – toate acestea în termeni perfect accesibili cititorului fără pregătire științifică. Nu în ultimul rând, Fundamentele lumii fizice este cartea unui umanist care pledează deopotrivă pentru modestie și respect de sine în raportarea noastră la univers. „Aceasta e o carte despre lecțiile fundamentale pe care le putem învăța studiind lumea fizică. Am întâlnit mulți oameni curioși să afle mai mult despre lumea fizică și dornici să știe ce are de spus despre ea fizica modernă. Fie că e vorba de avocați, medici, artiști, studenți, profesori, părinți sau pur și simplu oameni curioși, cu toții sunt înzestrați cu inteligență, dar le lipsesc informațiile. Am încercat în această carte să prezint principalele teorii ale fizicii moderne într-un mod cât mai simplu, dar fără să fac rabat de la rigoare. Am scris-o avându-i în minte pe prietenii mei curioși și gândindu-mă la întrebările lor.“ — FRANK WILCZEK „Wilczek scrie cu o extraordinară simplitate și claritate, iar plăcerea cu care abordează subiectul e frapantă.“ — The New York Times Book Review Găsiți cartea în librării și online: https://www.libhumanitas.ro/fundamentele-lumii-fizice.html

Abby and Kellee are beginning to wrap up season two and find themselves recording in a rather silly mood. If you are looking for lightness, laughter, and vulnerability join Abby and Kellee as they explore what their careers would be if they weren't therapists. Of course, they tie in how this relates to our own security and connectedness to our therapist identity. Topics Touched on:Rick Hanson- Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/buddhas-brain-the-practical-neuroscience-of-happiness-love-and-wisdom_daniel-j-siegel_rick-hanson/Frank Wilczek: https://physics.mit.edu/faculty/frank-wilczek/Dr. Dan Siegel- https://www.attachment-and-trauma-treatment-centre-for-healing.com/blogs/understanding-and-working-with-the-window-of-toleranceCoffee and Chat: Friend or Foe?

Carlo Rovelli, the globally celebrated physicist and bestselling storyteller of science, talks to Niki Seth-Smith about the history - and sheer wonder - of quantum theory. How did a feverish young man named Werner Heisenberg, working alone on the North Sea island of Helgoland in 1925, develop a radical insight that would shake the world of physics? What's its legacy for how we think about the nature of reality and perception itself? And how does the ‘relational' interpretation of quantum mechanics transform the way that we might see not only the physical world, but our relationships and politics, too? A fascinating conversation about collaboration and mentorship, our attachment to truth and certainty,  and the humbling power of science.Podcast listeners can get a year's subscription to New Humanist magazine for just £13.50.

Frank Wilczek is a physics professor at MIT, Arizona State University, and Stockholm University. He won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics, along with David Gross and H. David Politzer, “for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction.” The work, which revolutionized quantum physics, was conducted thirty-one years prior, when Wilczek was a graduate student at Princeton. He has been awarded a MacArthur Fellowship and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has writ- ten multiple books, including A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design and Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality. We tend to respect things in other people that we either can't see in ourselves or see in ourselves but don't live up to. This is probably why I so admire Frank Wilczek's endurance and forbearance. Those qualities are incredibly rare in a scientist and are ones I struggle with personally. He had this almost stoic patience, to wait thirty-one years for recognition, knowing all the while that he would likely win the Nobel Prize, but not receiving it. He exhibited incredible grit and resiliency. And he never lost his cheerfulness! Throughout those years, he committed to the process, dedicated himself to his craft, and kept showing up, understanding that the award is not the final arbiter of success or even satisfaction. I've learned more from him about patience and determination even than I have about the inner workings of protons and quarks.  Available on Amazon: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner  About Professor Brian Keating: https://www.youtube.com/drbriankeating Podcast in iTunes https://simonsobservatory.org/ https://briankeating.com/ https://bkeating.physics.ucsd.edu/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbriankeating/

In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Frank Wilczek about the fundamental nature of reality. They discuss the difference between science and non-science, the role of intuition in science, the nature of time, the prospect that possibility is an illusion, the current limits of quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle, space-time as a substance, the “unreasonable effectiveness” of mathematics in science, the possibility that we might be living in a simulation, the fundamental building blocks of matter, the structure of atoms, the four fundamental forces, wave-particle duality, the electromagnetic spectrum, the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the implications of infinite space-time, dark energy and dark matter, and other topics. Frank Wilczek won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for work he did as a graduate student. He was among the earliest MacArthur fellows, and has won many awards both for his scientific work and his writing. He is the author of A Beautiful Question, The Lightness of Being, Fantastic Realities, Longing for the Harmonies, Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality, and hundreds of articles in leading scientific journals. His “Wilczek’s Universe” column appears regularly in the Wall Street Journal. Wilczek is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founding director of the T. D. Lee Institute and chief scientist at the Wilczek Quantum Center in Shanghai, China, and a distinguished professor at Arizona State University and Stockholm University.
