Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek discusses his work and his life in science.
This lecture is part of the 2009 Cambridge Science Festival.
Frank Wilczek, Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT and recipient of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics, has been pushing the limits of what we know about particle physics and exploring what holds our universe together since he was 21, and contributing to the definition of gluons, which hold atomic nuclei together. Throughout a storied career in physics he has not only been at the forefront of his field but also an able and enthusiastic public communicator, helping to connect recent developments in fundamental physics to the general public, most recently in his book the The Lightness of Being.
