Frank Wilczek is a theoretical physicist, author, and intellectual adventurer. He has received many prizes for his work, including a Nobel Prize in Physics and most recently, in 2022 the Templeton prize.
Wilczek has made seminal contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials. His current research focus includes Axions, Anyons, and Time Crystals. These are concepts in physics which he named and pioneered. Each has become a major focus of world-wide research.
In recent years Frank has become fascinated with prospects for expanding perception through technology. He is developing hardware and software tools for this.
He has authored several well-known books, and writes a monthly "Wilczek's Universe" feature for the Wall Street Journal.
Wilczek received a B.S. at the University of Chicago in 1970, and a PhD in physics at Princeton University in 1974. Currently he is the Herman Feshbach professor of physics at the MIT; Founding Director of the T. D. Lee Institute and Chief Scientist at Wilczek Quantum Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Distinguished Professor at Arizona State University; and Professor at Stockholm University.

    Here's something to ponder. Experiments have shown that a small amount of mass is "lost" when a person dies. Let's call this mass the soul. Then take a less hubristic idea of the soul to assume that ALL physical constructs are the embodiment of a soul experiencing a different sort of consciousness. Thought it might be difficult to calculate the total mass of all souls, it is certainly plausible that it could account for dark matter, and certainly as valid a conjecture as positing some new "god" particle. Prove my theory wrong, I dare you.

    Excellent interview. It’s always great listening to Frank Wilczek. (I prefer to view crystal nucleation and formation as a “transient process” rather than a spontaneous one. In fact crystal growth is a slow process in comparison to many other chemical processes. If you look at entropy changes in crystal growth it appears to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics but it doesnt. When a liquid crystallizes into a solid, it gives off heat to its surroundings ie the latent heat of fusion. This heat causes an increase in disorder in the surroundings. So even though the crystal has low entropy, its formation increases the entropy of the surroundings enough so that the process has a net positive entropy change for the universe, Total entropy S = S [system] + S [surrounding] , goes up. I really can’t think of anything in nature that is truly a spontaneous process, there is always something going on in the background, sometimes it’s known and sometimes it’s unknown)

    Dark Matter and Dark Energy have been 2 of my favorite subjects for a while, I am not sure why but I guess it just intrigues me that there is something so mysterious in the Universe that our best minds and years of knowledge accumulated by building on the science before us still has these mysteries that remain. Entanglement is another topic I love. The beginning of this show reminds me of another show I just watched where they were explaining that physics does not explain how the universe works, physics explains how we perceive the universe works or something along those lines.

    Thanks for bringing us quality content again. It is good to have a channel like this that shows how we as a species can try to solve complex problems and learn about our incredible universe, in a time dominated by darker news of war and economic downturn. The recent video about UAPs made me think again about that phenomena - I am sceptical about aliens visiting the earth on a routine basis - but I have always been aware that I could be wrong about that. I have seen several UAP myself - and always tried to categorise what they were. Most were obviously satellites doing things like tumbling or "flaring" as light caught them a certain way. One was a silent red orb - I had never heard of a chinese lantern before my sighting! I once saw a small flame falling in the distance. That turned out to be a drop tank jettisoned by a USAF F111 on a training mission. The drop tank had caught on fire mid flight. You don't see things like very often in the midlands over here in the UK. Another example was a red and purple pair of dancing lights seen at night. A few nights later I drove past a pair of kites being flown that had LEDs on them - one had Red LEDs, the other purple. I think that the people flying them were possibly trying to provoke "alien" sightings as a laugh. However, I think that UAP should be intensively studied - at the very least we will be learning a lot about how our planet works if it is a natural phenomena. It they are artificial - we need to find out who makes them. We will probably then know the answer to the fermi paradox.......

    Einstein was functionally an atheist - but also smart enough to not say so outright. I like Prof. Wilczek's idea (from The Beautiful Question) of looking for new scientific discoveries by finding 'missing pieces' in natural patterns and symmetries! I think that's probably the kind of out of box thinking that sets apart the few brilliant scientists from the mass of really good scientists … Re. time crystals: When I heard 'naturally occuring clocks', my first thought was pulsars.

    Momentum is related to the movement, that is why the momentum of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength. If the wavelength of a photon is known, its momentum can be calculated using the formula 𝑝 = ℎ 𝜆 . If the frequency of a photon is known, its momentum can be calculated using the formula 𝑝 = ℎ 𝑓 𝑐 . This implies momentum is not the cause of dark matter. If it was dependent only on velocity of mass, the photon would have 0 momentum.

    Alternative Explanation of Dark Matter and Dark Energy - Newly proposed model of Universe can explain both of Dark Matter and Dark Energy The problem of modern physics is they're trying to explain everything with particle physics and the physics is being cornered more and more to the dead end. To escape the dead end, they invent or design another imaginary particle in vain instead of trying to revise their way to approach to the problem. I agree to that idea that the interaction between mass and space must be explained with quantum mechanics. But that doesn't mean gravity is the QM phenomena. That's because gravity is not a force. Gravity is just a joint effect of the expansion of the Universe and the curvature of spacetime. Details are given below. Einstein’s theory of General Relativity states that spacetime is curved by the presence of mass. This curvature influences the motion other objects with mass and gives rise to gravitation. Thus, gravity is a result of geometric features in spacetime. However, we also observe gravitational effects - curvature of spacetime - in areas without any detectable mass. This has given rise to the concept of dark matter, which is matter that does not interact in any detectable way with normal matter, except through gravity. So, there is some large quantity of dark matter scattered throughout the universe, which curves spacetime and causes gravitational effects just like normal matter, but we cannot see or detect it with any known method. An alternative theory to the identity of dark matter is proposed - it is not matter at all, but rather an intrinsic curvature of spacetime. In other words, spacetime is not naturally flat. Even in the absence of matter, we observe some inherent curvature of spacetime. So, the question is now - why is spacetime naturally curved? Why is it not flat in the absence of mass? The universe is 4-dimensional, with 3 spatial dimensions and one dimension in time. Rather than consider time as a linear dimension, we can consider it as a radial one. Therefore, rather than describing the universe with a Cartesian coordinate system, we describe it with a 4-dimensional spherical coordinate system - 3 angular coordinates, φ1, φ2, φ3, and one radial coordinate in time, t. We live on the 3-dimensional surface of a 4-dimensional bubble which is expanding radially in time. Thus, the Big Bang represents t=0, the beginning of time. The crucial point is that the expansion of the universe is not homogeneous in all directions. The expansion rate at one point on the bubble’s surface may differ slightly from another point near it. The universe is only roughly spherical in 4 dimensions, the same way that the Earth is only roughly spherical in 3 dimensions. The same way we observe local mountains and valleys on the surface of Earth, we observe local “mountains” and “valleys” on the surface of the universe bubble. The inhomogeneity of the expansion of the universe has given rise to natural curvature of spacetime. This natural curvature causes the phenomenon of “dark matter”. “Valleys” in spacetime pull matter in, similarly to the warping of spacetime of massive objects. So “dark matter” is really “valleys” in spacetime that are expanding slower than the regions surrounding it. These valleys tend to pull matter in and create planets, stars, and galaxies - regions of space with higher-than-average densities of mass. Conversely, “mountains” in spacetime will repel matter away, an “anti-gravitational” effect, which gives rise to cosmic voids in space where we observe no matter. Each point on the surface of the universe bubble traces out a time arrow in 4-dimensional space, perpendicular to the surface. These time arrows are not parallel to each other since the universe is not flat. This causes points to have nonzero relative velocity away from each other. It is generally accepted that the universe is expanding faster than observable energy can explain, and this is expansion is believe to be still accelerating. The “missing” energy required to explain these observations has given rise to the theory of dark energy. The time dilation caused by non-parallel time arrows can be proposed as an explanation for dark energy. Alternatively, dark energy is real energy coming from potential energy gradients caused by non-parallel time arrows. As a sanity check, we can calculate the expansion rate of the universe based on the universe bubble model. Since the radius of the universe bubble is expanding at the speed of light in the time direction, it increases at 1 light second per second. Therefore, the “circumference” of the 3-dimensional surface increases by 2π light seconds per second, or about 1.88*10^6 km/s. This expansion is distributed equally across the 3-dimensional surface, so the actual observed expansion rate is proportional to the distance from the observer. At present, the age of the universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion years, so the radius of the universe bubble is 13.8 billion light years, or about 4233 megaparsecs (3.26 million light years to 1 Mpc). Thus, we can calculate the expansion rate of the universe, per megaparsec from the observer, as: Expansion rate = ((d(circumference))/dt)/radiusofuniverse=(1.88*〖10〗^6 km⁄s)/(2π*4233Mpc)=(1.88*〖10〗^6 km⁄s)/26598Mpc=70.82(km⁄s)/Mpc The popularly accepted empirical expansion rate is 73.5 + 2.5 km/s/Mpc, so our calculated value is close. There may be some additional source of expansion (or observed red shift) to make up for the discrepancy. For example, if two adjacent points have some gravitational gradient due to non-parallel time arrows, then light passing through these points will be red-shifted. - Cited from www.academia.edu/82481487/Title_Alternative_Explanation_of_Dark_Matter_and_Dark_Energy

    Hey. Tell Wilczek I figured it out. 1.The fundamental forces are probably unified at the center of a black hole. 2. You should treat the singularity as a single quantum particle residing within it's own gravitational potential well. This particular would be subject to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and therefore behave like a probability cloud and cause gravitational effects out to the edge of the galaxy providing the extra gravitational force instead of a dark energy particle. That's probably nonsense. Just a brainstorm. -Daemeon, M.S. Physics

Regular matter is made of particles in very high concentrations. Enough to form stars and planets and gas clouds etc… So how can there be so many of these undiscovered particles, to amount to enough matter… that would be more then what we can see? I hope someone understands what I’m asking here. I mean… if there were that many axions or other particles… how could they ever amount to more matter than all our known elements in the universe???

We think about the universe like non living, then life but not intelligent life, then intelligent life. We like to draw borders and say this thin is called this from this line. Maybe our whole concept is wrong. I can think about the whole universe like a 4 dimensional mandelbrot pattern. Where things are quiet similar to each other, but in the same time there are no identical forms are shaped. Maybe the only thing that we call intelligent life and we think like we are a living and intelligent species, because we dont realise that we are just the part of this huge mandelbrot pattern. I dont say this is an illusion or simulation, what i say this is nothing else just an extremely complex and deep part of that very pattern where we are. And its not something like lonely island in the ocean where we alone. Its just simply a tiny complex part of that big one what we call universe. The another similar complex part is not visible for us. Different time different space. However its not an another life or an alien life over there, but an another very similar part of the whole. And this whole thing that we call universe, is not like living or not living thing, it is just what it is.

    Dark matter is the corrective math that we use to true up our limited mathematics with our observations. We had to invent something that is a massive percentage of the universe to make our math work. We did the same thing with mercury's precession. We used our limited math to conjure up an entire planet that HAD TO EXIST between mercury and the sun whose gravity was causing mercury's unaccounted for precession that we observed. Of course, the reality of the situation was that we lacked an understanding of what was taking place until Einstein came along. That same condition prevails when vieing galaxies at a distance. We assume that they (the distant galaxy) is suspended on a minkoski type space framework and that all the motions of the stars in that galxy or 'orbital'. And we then take the 'orbital' velocities of stars at different distances from the center to determine masses etc. But what we arent recognizing is that the entire galactic system is in rotation with some very pronouncced time dilation taking place near the center. How do you tease out rotational velocity from orbital velocity? Not by adding a halo of undetectable wierdly interacting matter surrounding galaxies. that doesnt even pass the sniff test for plausibility. At least Planet Vulcan was plausible

It is far more elegant and within the standard model to suggest that the acceleration we see in the exapnsion of space is due to our own clock time slowing as we either: get closer in a degrading orbit to SAG A* or get closer to some other primordial massive object in our near neighborhood This progressive slowing of clock time will yield the same observations as we see now without the need to invent something that isnt there [dark energy] so you have dark matter and dark energy which academia says simply HAVE to be there and that they HAVE to make up nearly 95% of our universe. I'd say that the truth of the matter is that we 'understand' about 5% of what's going on and the rest is hypothesis and corrective math to make the numbers match the observations.

    Hellow John, thank you for this interesting video. I found it particularly interesting because the subject is very much along the lines of an hypothesis that I have been working on, for a radical alternative to the standard model of the composition of the atom and quantum mechanics, which I believe could unite classical physics with quantum physics and cosmology. I believe it can explain ' Darke Energy ', ' Dark Matter ', how electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves are able to travel through space, why the speed of light is what it is and why nothing can travel faster than light, and ' Gravity '. The cornerstone of my hypothesis, is that the elctron is not a fundamental solid particle, but is a cluster of very much smaller negatively charged monopole paricles called ' Harveytrons ', that fill every available empty space between the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom and every empty space throughout the universe in a cloud. This particle is what I believe is the 'Dark Matter ', and because it is the vastly dominat particle throughout the universe, the negative force of repulsion that it creates, it the ' Dark Energy ', and a constituent of ' Gravity ', and what is causing the expansion of the universe. All of the physical matter that makes up ourselves and obsevable matter in the universe, consists of both the positive and negative particles, together making up every atomic nuclei in the universe. Everything else consists of the 'Harveytron Cloud '. This cloud provides a medium in which electomagnetic radiation and gravitational waves can travel through space. If space were a vacuum, as is the accepted view, no light could travel through space. It is my belief that the composition of the atom is radically different from that of the standard model, and that all of the exotic particles are just pieces of shattered atomic nuclei as a result of matter being collided together at great speed and energy. In my model, everything that makes up the universe, consists of just two incredibly small particles, the negatively charged monopole ' Harveytrons ', and a corresponding positively charged monopole particle, which may turne out to be professor 'Wilczek's ' ' Axions '. I would very much like to make a full copy of my hypothesis available to your distinquihed guest, professor ' Frank Wilczek ', for his scrutiny, if this were at all possible. Kind regards. Tony Marsh.

I believ that the standard model is flawed at the fundamental level of the composition of the atom as the accepted view in the standard model. I contend that the standard model is flawed at the fundament level of the composition of the atom. With our understanding of physics, if looked at logically, the present accepted model of the atom cannot be correct, for many reasons, but I will just give four for now. a). How is it possible for a single electron as in the case of the hydrogen atom, to form an ' Electron Cloud ', that fills the whole area between the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom, at every moment in time, when this area is over 100,000, 000 times that of the electron? b). If the electron does act as desribed in the standard model, by wizzing around the nucleus, changing trajectory many thousands of timmes a second, where does it get its energy from to iniciate and maintain its momentum? c). Following on from b). this momentun and changing trajectory, would require energy to be expended, and thus disipating heat. Therefore every atom and thus all matter would be emitting heat, which plainly it is not? d). How is it possible for the electron to have the same charge holdig capacity as the proton, which is around 2,000 times its size. It would be like a tiny watch battery having the same charge holding capacity as a very large watch battery? The cornerstone of my hypothesis is that the electron is not in fact a fundamental solid particle, but a cluster of very much smaller negatively chargeed monopole particles called ' Harvetrons ', which form a cloud that fills every available empty space within the atom, and every available space throughout the universe. The charge allocated to the electron in the standard model, is distributed throughout the void of the atom, and the cluster of these particles, that would be the electron in the standard model, would be just a small proportion of this charge. In my model there exist just two particles that make up everything within the universe, the negatively charged monopole ' Harvytron ' that I describe, and a corresponding positively charged monopole particle. All atomic nuclei are a combination of these two, everything else are ' Harveytrons ', in a cloud. From this, it will be seen that there is a massive excess of negative charge creating a force of repulsion, which is one constituent of gravity, the force is ' Dark Energy ', and the cloud is ' Dark Matter '. I am Happy to explain more if you are interested. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.
