Frank Wilczek is a theoretical physicist, the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Nobel Laureate. Wilczek will explain how his unrelenting research as a graduate student at Princeton in 1973 led to a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004. Wilczek, along with David Gross and H. David Politzer, won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of strong interaction. Wilczek will break down for us the forces of nature, including the strong forces that hold nuclei together, and the weak forces that have to do with radioactive decay. http://frankwilczek.com/
