The Power of Principles: Physics Revealed - A conversation with Nima Arkani-Hamed

The Power of Principles: Physics Revealed - A conversation with Nima Arkani-Hamed

How do we discover the laws of nature? We've all heard of the “scientific method” and the time-honoured convergence of theory with experiment. But how can we push our understanding well beyond where experiments can currently reach? Can theorists then simply make up whatever they please?

Nima Arkani-Hamed is adamant that they can do nothing of the sort. One of the world's most respected theoretical particle physicists, Nima assures us that it is almost impossible to come up with new ideas while still conforming to our two guiding principles of relativity and quantum mechanics. With his unbridled enthusiasm and engaging eloquence, Nima takes us inside the world of a working theoretical physicist, sharing his frustration at some of the ways that physics is communicated to the general public while revealing how he and his colleagues hope to be steered towards the truth without experiment to guide them.
