New paper arXiv.org on emergent Chern-Simons terms in matter, showing that they lead to attractive equations and some qualitatively striking phenomenology. Not unrealistic, I believe ... arxiv.org/pdf/2309.10025…

New short, readable paper 'Ambiguity, Invisibility, and Ambiguity' arXiv.org, about a good way to parameterize ignorance in three very different, interesting problems with a common mathematical structure. (Dedicated to the memory of Stanley Deser).: arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04882…

This morning we have Frank Wilczek MIT Physics, Michael Creutz Brookhaven Lab, and Leonard Susskind Stanford University give outstanding talks as always 🤩🤩🤩

First in a series by Betsy Devine 🟧. Modesty forbids that I retweet* them all.
(note: re-'tweet'. )

Betsy Devine 🟧 Frank Wilczek Maya Ajmera Society for Science *What* a great picture this is!!! 'Whatever became of Hubert?' as a great man once sang...

It's always a pleasure speaking with Society for Science Honorary Board member and Science Talent Search alum, Frank Wilczek. Our edited conversation: societyforscience.org/blog/conversat…

New 'Wilczek's Universe' @wsj about the positive value of ignorance: bit.ly/45UcFK3 ...
for detecting gravitational waves, quantum computers, recognizing people, transposing music, and avoiding original sin

New paper arXiv.org on early signs of long-lived metastability . I think this will lead to other important developments; see especially the 'Outlook' section: arxiv.org/pdf/2308.08340…

% My review of 'Oppenheimer' is one click away, actually: bit.ly/3OcGWwE

Very cool site 'Science and Film': scienceandfilm.org supported by the Sloan Foundation, for which I reviewed #OppenheimerMovie : bit.ly/3qeAPjl

Isidor Isaac Rabi was born #OTD in 1898. Rabi won the Nobel Prize for his work on nuclear magnetic resonance, helped establish both Brookhaven and CERN, and originated the idea, recently neglected but now restored, of a science advisory board for POTUS.

New 'Wilczek's Universe' column @wsj about sculpting good scientific questions, featuring my inspiring encounters with I. I. Rabi bit.ly/3OJ7IOR

wsj.com/articles/sifti…

The biggest scientific questions aren’t necessarily the best ones, writes Frank Wilczek, recalling the lessons of his great teacher I.I. Rabi. wsj.com/articles/sifti…

New 'wilczek's universe' @wsj about how fractionated electrons are evolving from curiosity into technology. The fissioned daughters are anyons, and electronics is being enriched with anyonics: wsj.com/articles/the-s…

Substantial 'Colloquium' on discrete time crystals, featuring a stringent criterion and connections to dynamical systems theory. (I am coauthor, with Zalatel, Lukin, Monroe, Nayak, Yao.) arxiv.org/pdf/2305.08904…

New 'Wilczek's Universe' column @wsj on the quantum nature of vision, and why it limits color perception. wsj.com/articles/we-ne…

The way we hear sound is like mechanical engineering, concrete and direct. The way we see color depends on the quirks of quantum mechanics, writes Frank Wilczek, and there’s much that escapes our view. wsj.com/articles/we-ne… via The Wall Street Journal

Join us in wishing a very happy birthday to 2022 Templeton Prize laureate Frank Wilczek!

A physicist and author, Dr. Wilczek's boundary-pushing investigations into the fundamental laws of nature have transformed our understanding of the forces that govern our universe.

Did you know that physics laureate Frank Wilczek has made many contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials? One contribution is discovering asymptotic freedom in the theory of strong interaction.
