IAS Family Science Talk: Einstein's Dream

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”––Albert Einstein, IAS Founding Professor

In an exploration of curiosity and adventures into the unknown, Robbert Dijkgraaf will explain the important role that curiosity played in Einstein's work, leading to discoveries that are everywhere around us from lasers, nuclear energy, and GPS. In this talk, Dijkgraaf will explain how the spirit of Einstein's curiosity lives on at the Institute for Advanced Study and why “without Einstein we would literally all be lost.”
