Visible and Invisible in fundamental physics and art
CERN
"Visible and Invisible in fundamental physics and art"
The relation between visible and invisible emerges in many areas,
from art to science, from religion to philosophy. In this lecture,
starting from the pioneering role of Heinrich Hertz in „making the invisible visible“,
I highlight the role that “invisibles” have played and play in the development of
modern physics while understanding the nature of matter and forces at the fundamental level.
This is accompanied by references to the work of Salvador Dalí, the most famous artist to have been influenced
by physics in his own exploration of the “invisible”.
