Quarks and the Universe: Murray Gell-Mann

To walk around with Murray Gell-Mann is to see the world through the keen eyes of a scientist. Gell-Mann, by temperament, approaches elementary particle physics from the point of view of a naturalist. We owe to him the discovery in 1952 of the quantity in theoretical physics called "strangeness." In 1969, he received the Nobel Prize for work that led to the discovery of "quarks." In this program with Bill Moyers, Gell-Mann discusses the simplicity and complexity of the universe, and the relation between the fundamental laws that govern the universe and the enormous complexity of the universe itself. (30 minutes)
