中文简介:
令人惊叹的奖项名单都表明弗兰克·威尔茨克是当今世界上最深刻和最有影响力的理论物理学家之一。这节课证明了这一点,正如威尔茨克在追寻科学中最深刻的问题之一:质量的起源是什么?将爱因斯坦著名的方程式改写为m=e/c2,使人联想到能量是质量的来源;Wilczek认为,高能但无质量的夸克和胶子,通过寻找准稳定平衡态(更确切地说是质子和中子)来产生质量。在半小时内重新解释了量子色动力学理论之后,威尔茨克陷入了另一个大脑紧张的问题:什么使重力如此微弱?在这里,更具试探性的答案来自于普朗克天平不可思议的微小尺寸。在这个领域,基本力是有意义的;只有相对于我们所生活的巨大规模,重力才是微弱的。Wilczek希望早在2009年就通过实验结果测试其中的一些推测。
课程简介: A stunning roster of awards all identify Frank Wilczek as one of the most profound and influential theoretical physicists alive today. This lecture proves the point, as Wilczek goes after one of the deepest questions in science: What is the origin of mass? Rewriting Einstein’s famous equation as m=E / c2 dramatizes that energy is the source of mass; energetic but massless quarks and gluons, Wilczek argues, give rise to mass by finding quasi-stable equilibrium states, better know as protons and neutrons. Having reinterpreted the theory of quantum chromodynamics in a brisk half hour, Wilczek plunges into another brain-straining question: What makes gravity so feeble? Here the more tentative answer derives from the unimaginably tiny dimensions of the Planck scale. Fundamental forces make sense in that realm; gravity is weak only relative to the enormously larger scales we live on. Wilczek looks forward to testing some of these speculations via experimental results as early as 2009.
