At the frontiers of physics, we search for the principles that might unify all the forces of nature and we strive to understand the origin and history of the universe. In this lecture Professor Gross will describe some of the questions that we ask and some of the proposed answers.
He will also discuss what it might mean to have a final theory of fundamental physics and whether we are capable of discovering it.
Tickets are free and can be booked here.
David Gross is the Chancellor’s Chair Professor of Theoretical Physics and former Director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 at UC Berkeley and was previously Thomas Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University.
His awards include the Sakurai Prize, MacArthur Prize, Dirac Medal, Oscar Klein Medal, Harvey Prize, the EPS Particle Physics Prize, the Grande Medaille d’Or and the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004.
The STAG Research Centre brings together world-leading academics from three research groups – Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Gravitation – to explore issues of fundamental physics and astronomy.
