Announcement :

Frank Wilczek is giving a talk tonight at the Ohio State University. This will be a great opportunity to attend a not-too-technical talk by a brilliant physicist. So if you happen to be in the Central Ohio region tonight, you might want to come take a look-see.

The Department of Physics welcomes Professor Frank Wilczek, MIT's Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics and winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics, the 2005 Alpheus Smith Lecturer. Free and open to the public. Monday, April 25 at 8 p.m. 131 Hitchcock Hall, 2070 Neil Ave. The title of Professor Wilczek's lecture is "m = E/c2: The Origin of Mass."

So, was his talk anywhere similar to the two Reference Frame articles he wrote in Physics Today late last year?

I attended one of Professor Wilczek's seminars ("The Universe is a Strange Place") a few weeks ago at the University of South Florida. He did go over the m=E/c^2 thing there, and also covered the topic of Asymptotic Freedom amd some other cosomological items. Really interesting stuff, but I am unfamiliar with the Physics Today article that ZapperZ mentioned.

What was even better was that I was able to speak to such a distinguished person after the seminar. .
