The Universe is a Strange Place
In the final lecture from the Ford/MIT Nobel Laureate Lecture series,
Frank Wilczek, 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics explains the strangeness
of the universe--and how it is "stranger than I thought" in a discussion
on quarks, neutrons, gluons, the strong interaction, ordinary matter and
dark matter. In doing so he recites his sonnet _Virtual Particles_,
plays with equations, shares the experience winning the Nobel Prize, and
tells Einstein's favorite joke.
