"The Future of Science," A Special Address by Steven Weinberg

Each
generation benefits from the insights and discoveries of those who came
before. “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the
shoulders of Giants,” wrote Isaac Newton. In a new annual series, World
Science Festival audiences are invited to stand on the shoulders of
modern-day giants. For this year’s inaugural address, “The Future of Big
Science,” Nobel laureate and physicist Steven Weinberg considers the
future of fundamental physics, especially as funding for basic research
is reduced. Weinberg will explore physics’ small origins, starting with
the discovery of the atomic nucleus 100 years ago by a single scientist,
and moving to the present-day, when collaborations involve hundreds of
researchers and billions of dollars. What has motivated this growth
spurt? What results has it yielded? And what would we stand to lose if
Big Science were to suffer? Weinberg, one of the most revered voices in
science, offers a distinguished vantage point for this crucial
discussion.
