Frasi di Leonard Susskind

Leonard Susskind è un fisico statunitense.

È professore di fisica teorica alla Stanford University nel campo della teoria delle stringhe e della teoria quantistica dei campi. Susskind è da molti considerato come uno dei padri della teoria delle stringhe per i suoi primi contributi all'applicazione di tale modello alla fisica delle particelle. Wikipedia

“Elegance requires that the number of defining equations be small. Five is better than ten, and one is better than five. On this score, one might facetiously say that String Theory is the ultimate epitome of elegance. With all the years that String Theory has been studied, no one has found even a single defining equation! The number at present count is zero. We know neither what the fundamental equations of the theory are nor even if it has any.”

“My physics has been extremely mainstream, ... It's not true that I'm some sort of a [radical thinker], not at all.”
