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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Eloquently put yet with the subtly of a sledge hammer. My sincerest gratitude for the for this artist enlightenment. Recently I feared the well had gone dry but this comment was a gem! Among the cesspool that YT comments generally inhabit.

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.

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.?

Beauty is everywhere!!!

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

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.

Great thinker, challenged speaker.

"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Frank packed the house this night.

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/

He is so happy its funny.

I agree 1.25x is the way to go

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.

This isn't a university course. It's a public lecture in a place that has a long tradition of being entertaining to the public in general. Anyway, I don't see people complaining about lack of entertainment; I see people complaining about poor video editing (not showing the appropriate slides, etc.) and... extremely... long pauses between... words. Which is actually entertaining, in a way (like watching a baby trying to walk), just makes it harder to follow the meaning.

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?

A slightly random thought which arises from this, however: a work of art is a thing, an object. (Which may be beautiful, although beautiful art is currently unfashionable). An idea is a concept, something captured by the mind. Beauty is neither an object nor a concept, but results from the way life survives every attempt to objectify or conceptualise it. Beauty is the effect of life upon itself. That much is true at both the galactic and sub-atomic scales - or so I insist in believing...

'Intelligent Design' is a rather problematic phrase... 'Universal Consciousness' I can live with. A process rather than an event, whereby consciousness emerges from its own inherent possibility (?) A little 'Neoplatonist' perhaps, but all of this Phi and Pi and constantly repeating patterns somewhat support the idea. The initial conditions of the universe are interesting too - anyone who studies them scratches their heads and says 'something's wrong - this shouldn't be so perfect' :)

No not at all pseudo-scientific, just poetry and art. It's simply a way to find inspiration and find metaphors to try to look at the fundamental laws from different perspectives. You could argue that scientists try to find symmetry or universality and thereby introduce bias - "wishing it was" and creating models based on it. But rigorous scientific methods should weed that out at least over time with experiments.

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

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