| Symmetry and Unification - Can physics be reduced to a single formula? |
|
Attempts to find a unified (`holistic') description of Nature have a long history, going back to ancient times. In this talk the speaker will re-trace some of the steps leading up to modern developments and advances towards this goal, culminating in the Standard Models of particle physics and cosmology, and provide a personal perspective on what may lie beyond. |
