Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, a leading theoretical physicist and quantum mechanics pioneer, to headline Presidential Lecture Series event

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, considered one of the world’s most eminent theoretical physicists and a pioneer in modern quantum theory, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang Oct. 30 for a conversation as part of the university’s Presidential Lecture Series.

Wilczek’s Purdue appearance, titled “Our Strange Universe: What Is It? What Does It Mean?” is at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, in Stewart Center’s Loeb Playhouse. The event is being moved from Fowler Hall to the larger Loeb Playhouse because of strong interest. The Presidential Lecture is free and open to the public, but a general admission ticket is required. Existing Wilczek tickets for Fowler Hall will be honored for Loeb Playhouse, so there’s no need to reregister.
