A World of Ideas with Bill Moyers: Quarks and the Universe with Murray Gell-Mann

Description:

Murray Gell-Mann approaches elementary particle physics from the point of view of a naturalist. In 1952, Gell-Mann discovered the quantity on theoretical physics called "strangeness," and was recipient of the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for work in elementary particle theory that led to his discovery of the particles he named "quarks." Murray Gell-mann is also professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. From its tiniest particles to its great unknown, Gell-Mann discusses the simplicity and complexity of the universe.
