God, Dark Matter and Falling Cats: A Conversation with 2022 Templeton Prize Winner Frank Wilczek

Frank Wilczek, a Nobel Prize–winning theoretical physicist and author, has been announced as the recipient of the 2022 Templeton Prize, which is valued at more than $1.3 million.

I was planning upon PoC testing of the DES information system using UniofOxford astrophysicists. There's a 50% probability that the Templeton crew have already told him about the DES experiment so it sounds like they want to involve him which I can definitely do.

Let go the anchor, cat.

Spirituality, God! I guess these subjects attract the attention of people who believe in or crave for continuity of their life after death.
