Summary:
In this personal, visionary, and fascinating lecture, Neil Turok, Director of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, explores transformative discoveries, from the nature of light, to the evolution of the
cosmos
, to the bizarre world of the
quantum
, and the emerging ideas which may yield tomorrow's technologies. Drawing from his personal experience, from confronting injustice in apartheid South Africa to becoming a renowned international scientist and educator, Turok explains why scientific research, training, and outreach are vital to our future economy as well as powerful forces for peaceful global progress. Facing this brave new world, Turok calls for creatively re-inventing the way advanced knowledge is developed and shared, and opening access to the vast, untapped pools of intellectual talent in the developing world.
