Frank Wilczek: Physics of Quarks, Dark Matter, Complexity, Life & Aliens | Lex Fridman Podcast #187

Mr Wilczek seems so terribly proud and stuck on himself; …the simple accumulation of blah-blah-blah data…; he has no way of conveying correctly or truthfully to anyone.
How sad, how non-entertaining.

DOC: the cia got you pushing too many pencils YaYaYa

He's ready to graph and chart at a moments notice with all those pens.

Do you really need 5 pens ?

Damn, to just be listening to this man, Frank Wilczek! So inspiring and fascinating, I don't understand physics, but I love listening to this!

Wilczek is a human treasure

At the very beginning of the podcast both are talking of the universe is completely comprehensible. My question is : the Gödel incompleteness theorem which appears in mathematics can have a similar version in physics making physics incomplete to describe the universe ? Thank you for the attention and congratulations for the podcast . I am a fan.

what a lovely guy. it feels like hes so excited about everything. i wish i had the same attitude

I was mesmirirzed! Thank you Frank.

Why so many pens he has

Why are professional physicists and mathematicians always so ugly? Serious question.

This dude is like a caricature of a scientist, I am a fan of his published work and find it to be brilliant and very positive for intelligent life in general, but still he always looks like Herge's Professor calculus made manifest...

Why does this guy have 6 pens in his pocket?

You’re talking about 40yrs ago! The technology we have now, no one would believe. Anything Boston dynamics comes CB up with is 40yrs behind

So the fractal structure of vegetables, namely broccoli, is based on stupidity? That statement and the frame of mind that you seem to use when making it is incredibly stupid my friend, you cant play God and then pretend that there is nothing to it. Ridiculous. You really think you can just explain a small part and think that you are greater than the whole? Arrogance to it's extreme.

Dude needs to do something about his hair. What the fuck.

How many pens does a bald man need on hand?

What's up with his hair I mean it seems on purpose f him. I object.

Thank you a lot for this interview. By the way the quote of “I accept the universe” is mistakenly attributed to Samuel Johnson, it was Margaret Fuller.

I really enjoyed this podcast. I listen to all of it. It made me smile and it made me think. Thank you both

Awesome interview! Thank you very much Lex!

this guys biography is olympic tier

this guy is a genius thinker

Dude, stop with the comb-over.. Great podcast though. Digging the pens too!

Lex, I find your obvious sighs in the middle of your discourse quite disturbing.

I’m fucking devastated that this video isn’t two seconds longer. All the twos that could have been, but never were 😢

I can' bother listening to this guy over his constant gasping... Speaking about unconscious information prosessing. I can't be the only one who hears nothing but "FFHUuhH" every 5 seconds.

Could souls be dark matter?

Strong pen game, weak comb over game.

There are things we know, things you know we don’t know, and things we don’t know we don’t know… and we don’t know how much that is 😂

Frank: YOOmansssss

Cannibal corpse or dying fetus? Which is better?

Guys, check out reid timmer for milton coverage. He is onroute now with the custom storm chasing vehicle he made

Ried timmer for all your milton updates

I prefer RT over ryan hall

Milton presser starting any minute

Rick but where is Morty

Asymptotic freedom?! I guess if you're on your deathbed,and pass a day or two before the election? Then, yeah, that's what you would have.

The pens are important. My quantum mechanics professor wrote more on comments on my tests than I did in my answers. 😂

The difference between a physicist and an engineer boils down to the presence or absence of a pocket protector.

“The reason is stupidity” this is exactly the kind of hubris that people hate about scientists. No the universe is not stupid. The reason for fractals is not stupid. It’s efficient - it’s incredibly intelligent. What a complete ass to think the structure of life is stupid.
